Leave Your ID at Home. Yourself, too.
It’s a huge issue in today’s digital world – and rightly so. At its very essence, electronic identification (eID) is technology that cuts down on paperwork, significantly reducing the need to travel to various offices and institutions. But few marvels of today’s digital world have had such a fundamental impact on reducing our personal carbon footprints as bank-issued eID, even though it came into existence only a few months ago. A simple idea lies at the heart of this change: make sure we’re able to prove our identity in the digital world. Flawlessly and unequivocally. And banks are the institutions we communicate with most often through various channels: they verify our identity when they open accounts for us, when we access their online banking platforms, and when they provide us with various products. Banks are also subject to strict oversight. The banking eID concept was sparked by a law that prevents money from being laundered through bank accounts and various financial fraud schemes, paving the way for the launch of the entire project in early 2021.
