Digital Blockchain Identity application
Digital Identity platform
Solution of the NIURON consortium to verify the customer's identity faster and more securely.
Currently, when registering a new customer with a financial institution, we are challenged by a complex identification process that requires us to gather various documents to prove the identity and the activity of the customer (ID card, salary, invoices, etc.). This process is repeated at all banks, duplicating efforts and generating inefficiency.
When applying for products at a bank, the user will not have to provide any documentation if they have previously been a customer at one of the associated banks and give their consent to the sharing of their information quickly and securely.

How is digital identity shared securely?
1. Creating the digital identity of a client in the blockchain network
Carlos is registered for the first time as a client in a bank part of Niuron consortium. Provides his personal data to the entity, which is registered in the blockchain network.
2. Sharing the digital identity of a common client between banks
Carlos is registered as a client in another bank part of Niuron. As his data is already registered in the blockchain network, this second entity obtains the necessary documentation for the on-boarding automatically, always getting strict consent of the interested party.
3. Add new attributes to the digital identity of a network client
Carlos on-boards as a new client in a third entity of the blockchain network, this entity obtains the necessary information from the network but it needs new documents to complete the KYC process, this last information is requested to the client and added to its digital identity.
