Illuma, the leading provider of voice security, is proud to announce a strategic partnership with SELCO Community Credit Union to deploy IllumaSHIELD™, its voice authentication and fraud prevention technology. This collaboration enables SELCO to strengthen security, reduce fraud risk, and deliver a smoother member experience across every conversation.

Powered by AI-driven voice biometrics, IllumaSHIELD™ passively authenticates members during normal conversation, replacing knowledge-based verification methods in the contact center and self-service channels. The solution mitigates risks from deepfakes, social engineering, and account takeover, while improving operational efficiency and member satisfaction.

“At SELCO, protecting our members’ information is paramount,” said Kirk Letourneau, SELCO’s Senior Vice President of Information Services & Technology. “By implementing Illuma’s voice authentication technology, we’re enhancing fraud prevention while making the verification process faster, easier, and more seamless for our members.”

By partnering with Illuma, SELCO demonstrates its commitment to implementing secure, compliant technologies that provide strong protection without adding friction to the member experience. Through this partnership and the adoption of IllumaSHIELD™, SELCO is taking a proactive approach to combating evolving fraud threats while improving efficiency and reducing the need for manual verification.
​
“We’re delighted to partner with SELCO Community Credit Union to bring AI powered voice security to their membership,” said Milind Borkar, Founder and CEO of Illuma. “Our goal is to empower financial institutions to shift from reactive fraud defense to proactive voice security — protecting members without compromising experience.”
