Entrust provides identity-centric security solutions globally, and the partnership will allow advisers to initiate and complete ID verification checks within a client case, using a government-issued ID and biometric verification.
Borrowers can complete this using their mobile phones and link the results to the case record, which JammJar said would create a clear compliance trial and avoid the need for advisers to switch systems or manually upload documents.
Karl Griffin (pictured), CEO and co-founder of JammJar, said identity verification was a “critical part of the advice process” but often handled through different systems, creating friction in the process.
He added: “Integrating the Entrust Identity Verification solution directly into JammJar’s workflow means brokers can initiate and complete identity verification without leaving the platform, with results automatically recorded within the case file. It’s another step towards removing the manual tasks that slow advisers down while ensuring firms maintain a clear and auditable compliance trail.
“But more broadly, this partnership reflects our wider philosophy with JammJar. The real benefit of artificial intelligence doesn’t come from automating isolated tasks – it comes from connecting the entire advice journey so documentation, compliance and communication work together seamlessly.”
