JCM Global teams with eConnect to improve casino security using facial recognition

October 17, 2019

JCM Global, which provides its patented FUZION technology, is partnering with eConnect to further increase casino security and enhance surveillance and audit capabilities through real-time anti-money laundering and suspicious activity reporting alerts using facial recognition.

JCM's FUZION peripheral management system captures images and keeps transaction records of each note and ticket, front and back. FUZION and eConnect communicate in real-time to track and match each transaction to the individual patron through iVIZION CIS imaging, casino surveillance and facial recognition, according to a press release.

"The FUZION secure public APIs allow authorized third-party systems, like eConnect, to access unique, real-time transaction data that only FUZION can provide,' David Kubajak, senior vice president of sales, marketing and operations at JCM Global, said in the release.

Whether the patron is carded or uncarded, eConnect can associate a patron to each transaction with facial recognition. The end result of this partnership means higher levels of security, patron identification and AML/SAR capabilities to casino operations.

"FUZION's unique capabilities integrated to eConnect's best in class facial recognition solution has completely changed the way casino operators can identify, review and reduce money laundering," said Jason Cribbs, vice president of sales for eConnect, in the release.
