Deep dives
Bank ID in the UK and the Role of One ID
One ID, a bank-based identity verification product in the UK, aims to bring the Nordic model of bank ID to the UK using the open banking platform. The process involves a user consenting to share data, logging in securely with their bank, and completing the data sharing process. Through a revenue share model, banks are incentivized to participate in the ecosystem, enabling secure and efficient data sharing. The use of bank-based schemes proves effective in the absence of a national identity system.
Ecosystem Setup and Partnerships with Banks
One ID establishes partnerships with banks to set up the supply side of their ecosystem, leveraging open banking APIs and commercial APIs. By offering a revenue share model and facilitating data sharing with third parties, One ID ensures a seamless process for users. The platform's integration with 90% of the UK population's online banking accounts streamlines user authentication without requiring additional downloads or setups, enhancing the consumer experience.
Consent Console and Wallet Services
One ID provides a consent console, allowing users to track where they have shared their data, enhancing transparency and control over their information. The platform considers expanding into wallet services to offer additional functionalities based on user needs. With the majority of UK individuals having bank accounts, One ID serves as a data broker facilitating secure data sharing across different banking institutions.
Future Evolution and Standardization in Digital Identity
One ID explores the convergence of traditional bank-based identity systems with emerging standards like verifiable credentials (VCs). The podcast discussion delves into how different identity models, including centralized, federated, and VC-based systems, are poised to coexist in the future. Cross-compatibility between OpenID Connect and VCs is highlighted, emphasizing interoperability as a key aspect of the evolving digital identity landscape.
