Enabling Financial Services Innovation with Modern Identity
body
With open banking APIs, decentralized finance, and global markets, Identity and Access Management (IAM) has emerged as the connective tissue between innovation, compliance, and user experience (UX). Across APAC, the E.U., the Americas, and beyond, industry leaders are recognizing that value rides not just on technology decisions, but on identity decisions — to capitalize on meaningful third-party collaboration at scale.
Secure Third-Party Data Sharing
- Adopt API-first architecture supporting tokenized, permission-based data exchange for FDX and FAPI 2.0.
- Replace screen scraping with secure, encrypted APIs to enhance privacy, trust, and UX.
- Implement real-time consent orchestration and visibility into third-party data access.
- Establish governance frameworks to manage risk, traceability across data recipients and downstream partners.
- Ensure conformance with FAPI 1 Advanced and FAPI 2.0 to meet evolving open banking requirements.
Enable Digital Banking
- Integrate risk-based, context-aware authentication across onboarding, login, and transaction flows.
- Support mobile-first onboarding using verified identity attributes, biometrics, and behavioral signals.
- Deploy real-time fraud detection leveraging device intelligence, geolocation, and behavioral biometrics.
- Enable inclusive banking through tiered verification levels, digital-native “Know Your Customer" (KYC) models.
- Establish verified trust across journeys by linking identity consent, authentication, and authorization.
Enable Decentralized Identity
- Support Issuance, verification and lifecycle management of verifiable credentials for eIDAS 2.0 and OpenID4VCI.
- Implement identity verification capabilities: document matching, liveliness detection, and server-side biometrics.
- Prepare backend systems for seamless interaction with E.U. Digital Identity Wallets using SIOPv2 and OpenID4VCI.
- Enable selective disclosure and data minimization to align with privacy-by-design principles.
- Pilot decentralized identity flows across touchpoints to reduce fraud and accelerate onboarding.
Secure Third-Party Access
- Deploy identity governance frameworks purpose-built for third-party and delegated access scenarios.
- Implement policy-based access control (PBAC) with intent-aware permissions and delegated minimization.
- Automate onboarding, offboarding, and lifecycle management for partners, brokers, and fintechs.
- Monitor and trace access across fourth- and Nth-party ecosystems to comply with DORA, GDPR, and FIDA.
- Mitigate risk with continuous identity verification across federated bring-your-own-identity (BYOI) models.
Accelerate Financial Innovation
- Unify architecture to support open banking, embedded finance, decentralized identity on a single platform.
- Support fine-grained consent and attribute sharing across APIs, wallets, and mobile channels.
- Embed verified identity capabilities into fintech, wealth, and insurance partner ecosystems.
- Use identity as the trust anchor to safely expand into unbanked, underbanked, and digitally-native markets.
- Leverage IAM as a strategic enabler of growth, trust, and speed across business lines and geographies.
