Security and privacy

Banks and itsme can help reduce online fraud (such as identity fraud) because they provide certainty about the real identity of customers. They can identify themselves at other organisations via their own bank or via a secure itsme-app. Banks and itsme can provide this level of identity assurance because customers have already verified their identity when opening a bank account or by presenting an official identity document. In addition, they have more than 20 years of experience with reliable login methods with which their customers can authenticate their identity online in a secure manner.
