Project Financial Crime sub-group has put forward manifesto on digital identity

Share this post

Project Financial Crime’s digital identity sub-group has put forward its manifesto of activity to drive the adoption of digital identity across the payments ecosystem. To prevent financial crime, you must make sure that customers are who they say that they are when you onboard them, then you must check that they are still your legitimate customer every time they interact with you. Today, many customer relationships are remote and digital, understanding best practice for digital identity is vital and it can be confusing. As part of the Payments Association’s Project Financial Crime our Digital Identity Working Group will be looking at the factors that affect digital identity so that we can offer concrete advice to Payments Association members. Our initial aims include:

  • Identifying applicable industry standards for digital identity.
  • Assessing the proposed BSI standard for digital identity: PAS 499.
  • Compiling and issuing guidance notes for Payments Association members on digital identity standards and their adoption.
  • Understanding and communicating the application of digital identity in the context of regulatory frameworks such as strong customer authentication for PSD2, GDPR and AML Directives.
  • Ensuring that consumer interest is given appropriate balance in issued guidance.

Digital Identity Working Group members: Jonathan Jensen (Lead), Karen Quinn, Amy Rodmell, Sarah Rutherford

I didn't receive an e-mail

Tip: Check your spam

Sometimes our e-mails end up in spam. Make sure to check your spam folder for e-mails from The Payments Association

Tip: Check “other” tabs

Most modern e-mail clients now separate e-mails into different tabs. For example, Outlook has an “Other” tab, and Gmail has tabs for different types of e-mails, such as promotional.

Tip: Click the link within 60 minutes

For security reasons the link will expire after 60 minutes. Try submitting the login form again and wait a few seconds for the e-mail to arrive.

Tip: Only click once

The link will only work one time – once it’s been clicked, the link won’t log you in again. Instead, you’ll need to go back to the login screen and generate a new link.

Tip: Delete old login e-mails

Make sure you’re clicking the link on the most recent e-mail that’s been sent to you. We recommend deleting the e-mail once you’ve clicked the link.

Tip: Check your security policies

Some security systems will automatically click on links in e-mails to check for phishing, malware, viruses and other malicious threats. If these have been clicked, it won’t work when you try to click on the link.

Need to change your e-mail address?

For security reasons, e-mail address changes can only be complete by your Member Engagement Manager. Please contact the team directly for further help.
