Verimi and Signicat partner for European digital identity

Identification platform Verimi and digital identity solutions provider Signicat have announced a partnership aiming to deliver “a better multi-factor identification and authentication solution” across Europe.

The agreement includes the integration of Verimi’s identification platform into Signicat’s ‘Digital Identity Hub‘.

Verimi is one of the leading identity provider firms in Germany and was selected by Signicat after “intensive testing as a strategic ID Partner” for its entry into the German market.

The partnership enables Signicat customers to add Germany to the list of markets where they can digitally onboard customers.

Gunnar Nordseth, CEO of Signicat, explained: “Germany is rapidly becoming a digital-first nation and our partnership with Verimi means we can offer our international clients an excellent identity verification and authentication method to attract and retain new customers.

“Verimi’s exciting offering is opening new doors for us in Germany and we look forward to working together with them.”

Signicat’s Digital Identity Hub allows customers to connect once, then digitally onboard and authenticate their clients.

Both new and existing users of its digital identity hub can use Verimi’s identification and authentication methods.

The partnership main principle is to ensure that secure and effective digital on-boarding, identity verification services, and regulatory compliance offerings can be provided in an interoperable manner across Europe.

Roland Adrian, Spokesman for the management board of Verimi, commented: “Verimi starts to gain a foothold in the European market for digital identities and Signicat is the ideal partner for Verimi to attract even more new clients in Europe.

“We are happy to enter into a partnership with Signicat and become the ID Provider of choice in Germany.”
