The faster, safer, and easier way to manage your identity and access regulated industries. Take back control of your identity
Most commonly applied to humans, it can also be used to refer to businesses and organisations, or, increasingly, applications and devices.
In the digital world, where a physical presence and identity documents are not able to exist, digital identities are used to represent physical entities, as well as to provide an identity for entities that only exist in a digital form.
The need for a verified digital identity can be seen in Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations – where financial services are required to verify that the people they are conducting business with are not criminals. Without a verified digital identity, there would be no way of ascertaining whether a digital entity was who or what it claimed to be, frustrating those who need to comply with regulations or who want to interact with specific entities.
The benefits of using digital solutions and online alternatives to traditional methods are huge: efficiency, speed, globalisation, freedom, choice, cost effectiveness and more are all potential outcomes, but ensuring the safety and security of interactions and transactions needs to be established first, which is only possible when everything has a verified digital identity. The security of these identities are paramount.
When companies store users’ personal data for KYC or access permissions, it effectively creates a honeypot that is extremely attractive to criminals.
With the Internet of Things on the horizon – where everyone and everything will be connected digitally – there is an incredible risk in having personal information online and digital identities without adequate security.
Despite the need for companies to conduct KYC and other forms of regulation, having them store and control personal data has repeatedly proved to be an issue.
The Blockpass Mobile App allows anyone to create, verify and manage their own identity for KYC verification through their own mobile device, and to use it to access regulated industries.
Companies using Blockpass save time and money when complying with KYC to onboard users, and are removed from the legal dangers of performing their own KYC verification services.
