Jumio supports Movember Foundation to raise men's health awareness

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 20 -- Jumio, an end-to-end identity verification and authentication solutions provider recently contributed US$10,800 to the Movember Foundation, raising awareness on prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. (US$100 = RM414.07)

The Movember Foundation is the leading charity dedicated to changing the face of men’s health in the United States and worldwide. It is best known for their annual Movember fundraising campaign that takes place every November.

Last month, Jumio pledged to donate US$100 for every employee who participated in a mustache authentication contest.

More than 100 Jumio global employees participated by either growing a real mustache or wearing fake facial hair and going through the Jumio Authentication process twice — once with facial hair and once without.

The company also demonstrated its Jumio Authentication’s ability to authenticate real users whose physical characteristics had changed.

During Movember, men start clean-shaven and grow a mustache for the month, getting friends, family and colleagues to donate to their efforts.

Since 2003, more than five million men and women have funded over 1,250 innovative projects across more than 20 countries.
