- WebID expands its platform offering with Verimi Wallet, the secure digital wallet for personal identity data
- Verimi users will be able to identify themselves with the Verimi Wallet at participating WebID partners in the future
- WebID partners can offer their customers to store their personal identity data in the Verimi Wallet
Berlin, September 16, 2021 – Verimi and WebID are entering into a strategic partnership to expand the digital identity ecosystem. WebID now also offers the Verimi Wallet as a method for verifying customers’ identities via its international platform.
This gives the more than 300 WebID partner companies the opportunity to offer their customers the option of using the identity data deposited with Verimi as a digital ID. End customers who have not yet deposited their data with Verimi can also be offered to store their ID data just verified by WebID in the Verimi wallet. In this case, WebID incorporates a “Save to Verimi” option into the identification process using established WebID Ident methods (Video-Ident, Account-Ident, eID-Ident and AI-Ident).
“The Verimi Wallet is an excellent addition to our own comprehensive ident solutions and the numerous third-party solutions on our platform, adding an innovative identification method,” said Frank S. Jorga, founder and CEO of WebID. “We are excited to offer our partners a mature ID wallet as a new building block for an optimized digital customer experience, while taking another step in our consistent platform strategy.”
Platform customers will be able to quickly realize the added value from the new partnership for themselves, as Verimi will be usable within the framework of existing technical connections. New connections will also be made via the proven central interface at WebID. For end customers, the Verimi wallet will serve as a digital wallet for convenient use at all connected partners from various industries.
“The strategic partnership with WebID leads to many new acceptance partners and many new use cases for Verimi users,” says Roland Adrian, CEO of Verimi. “Building reach is critical to success for digital identities to reach their potential – together with WebID we are taking an important step.”
