GBG empowers businesses to verify customers with trusted Digital IDs worldwide in a single platform
The solution makes it simple to add Digital IDs – an electronic credential that proves a person’s identity often stored in a digital wallet on a smartphone – into an onboarding workflow
28 October 2025, LONDON: GBG, the global identity technology business enabling safe and rewarding digital lives, announces the launch of its Digital ID solution that allows businesses to seamlessly accept verified Digital IDs from around the world during online onboarding. Through a single, secure connection, organisations can verify users using a wide range of Digital IDs including government-issued eIDs, mobile driver’s licences (mDLs), and BankIDs.
Available as a module within GBG Go – the company’s adaptive identity platform – the solution provides businesses with aggregated access to trusted Digital ID networks. By accepting a variety of private and public reusable credentials, GBG empowers businesses with the operational agility to keep pace with evolving user adoption and verify customers across multiple markets, without vendor lock-in.
Micah Willbrand, Chief Product Officer – Identity Fraud, at GBG, says: “With over 2 billion people around the world now using Digital IDs, the way we prove who we are is being transformed. GBG’s mission has always been clear: to enable safe and rewarding digital lives for genuine people, everywhere. Digital IDs exist to make life simpler and safer, opening up easier access to goods and services for individuals. The real value lies in their acceptance – if Digital IDs operate in silos, they lose their true potential.
That’s why, with our solution, businesses can accept Digital IDs from across the globe through one seamless connection, delivering real value for consumers and empowering organisations to embrace this future with confidence and ease.”
The key benefits of GBG’s Digital ID solution are:
- One connection, worldwide adoption: Businesses can serve customers in multiple markets through one connection to trusted Digital ID schemes, including government issued eIDs, mDLs, BankIDs, and private-sector reusable credentials.
- Accelerated customer onboarding: Digital IDs let users verify instantly with credentials they already hold, improving conversion and reducing drop-offs.
- End-to-end encryption and user privacy: Digital ID verification uses a standards-based framework using W3C Verifiable Credentials and end-to-end encryption to protect privacy at every step.
- Reduced fraud and risk: Digital IDs provide deterministic authentication of credentials, rather than probabilistic. Businesses can accept tamper-proof, pre-verified credentials from trusted issuers, and focus more extensively on enriching journeys via GBG Go’s extensive fraud signals from GBG’s identity network – offering added certainty in identity proofing as fraud protection technology continues to evolve.
- Easily customised onboarding journeys: Flexible workflows in GBG Go make it easy for businesses to create customer journeys that fit their needs. The Digital ID module works smoothly within the platform, letting companies add fraud and risk checks and automatically fall back to alternative verification methods when needed.
- Supports regulatory compliance: The solution provides businesses with the operational agility to respond to evolving Digital ID regulations and meet regional mandates such as the EU’s eIDAS 2.0, which will require regulated industries to accept the EUDI Wallet.
GBG’s Digital ID solution is enabled through partnerships with leading industry providers including Trinsic and MATTR. To learn more about GBG’s Digital ID solution visit: www.gbg.com/en/verify-identity/digital-ids/
