Digital banking platform ANZ Plus has launched a new Digital Identity service in partnership with ConnectID, a digital identity solution developed by Australian Payments Plus (AP+). ConnectID is designed to enhance security by allowing identity verification without sharing personal documents, protecting against fraud and identity theft.
“We are delighted to have ANZ Plus go live with ConnectID. Its customers will enjoy greater control over what personal data is shared with and used by a business,” said Andrew Black, Managing Director of ConnectID. “ConnectID also ensures consumer and business convenience and confidence, with fast and secure identity verification.”
The service aims to boost data privacy and security by minimizing unnecessary data sharing and protecting against identity theft and fraud. ConnectID functions as an intermediary that does not store personal information but facilitates verification with customer authorization.
Accredited under the Australian Government’s Trusted Digital Identity Framework (TDIF), ConnectID adheres to high standards for digital identity management.
“We’re pleased to help ANZ Plus customers keep control of their identity and minimise the sharing of data for services where this is not necessary,” said Gabriel Steele, ANZ General Manager, Customer & Identity Services. “Not only do we see this better protecting our customers from the evolving threat of cybercrime, but we believe there’s an equally significant opportunity to reduce the risk our business customers face in holding more data than required.”
Earlier this year, ConnectID announced a partnership with RentBetter, an Australian platform that enables property owners to manage their rental properties independently, offering tools for advertising, leasing, tenancy management, and maintenance.
