Monday 9 August 2021 09:30 CET | Editor: Mirela Ciobanu | Interview

Digital Identity is a key pillar of an online society and essential to success in Digital Transformation

More than a buzzword, digital identity promises to unlock lots of benefits for consumers and businesses alike in many sectors: healthcare, legal, government, financial. Embracing common technical standards that are open and widely used, enables seamless exchange of data and services for consumers to act and transact in an increasingly borderless way. But lack of interoperability or data privacy issues hinder the development of these advantages.

Ahead of the European Identity and Cloud Conference 2021, Don Thibeau, Digital Trust initiative and Douwe Lycklama, INNOPAY share with our readers how would a Global Bank Identity Scheme look like and what are the benefits for stakeholders.
