Illuma and Jovia Financial Credit Union Partner to Secure Every Voice Interaction

Milind Borkar

Illuma, the leader in AI-powered voice security for contact centers, today announced a new partnership with Jovia Financial Credit Union to enhance voice authentication, reduce fraud risk, and deliver faster, more seamless member experiences across its contact center operations.

Through this partnership, Jovia Financial Credit Union will deploy IllumaSHIELD™, Illuma’s advanced voice security platform, to modernize caller authentication while strengthening protection against social engineering, account takeover, and emerging voice-based fraud threats. The solution enables secure identity verification naturally during conversation—eliminating reliance on traditional knowledge-based questions that slow calls and frustrate members.

“Jovia’s focus on delivering trusted, member-first experiences aligns perfectly with Illuma’s mission,” said Milind Borkar, Founder and CEO of Illuma. “Voice is one of the most important—and most targeted—channels in financial services. Together, we’re securing every conversation while making authentication faster and more natural for both members and contact center teams.”

IllumaSHIELD™ uses AI-driven voice intelligence and adaptive risk analysis to confirm identity in real time. Low-risk interactions remain fast and frictionless, while higher-risk situations automatically trigger additional verification—allowing Jovia to balance security, compliance, and service speed without compromise.

For Jovia Financial Credit Union, the partnership supports ongoing efforts to modernize member service operations while staying ahead of increasingly sophisticated fraud tactics.

“Voice interactions are a vital part of how we serve our members,” said Eric Oterson, Chief Member Experience Officer at Jovia Financial Credit Union. “Illuma’s voice security technology allows us to strengthen protection against fraud while delivering a smoother, more natural experience for our members and our team.”

Illuma’s voice security platform is designed for rapid deployment, enabling financial institutions to realize measurable value quickly—often going live in days and achieving immediate operational value.
