Strengthening Trust in a Digital World
IDnow has announced a strategic partnership with Keyless to bring greater security to digital identity verification across Europe. This alliance introduces a new standard: Continuous Trust, offering end-to-end identity protection throughout the user journey.
From signup to sensitive actions like account changes, this collaboration ensures identity remains secure and verifiable — not just once, but always.
Merging Verification with Biometric Authentication
By integrating IDnow’s identity verification (IDV) and digital signature tools with Keyless’ biometric multi-factor authentication, the platform delivers unmatched security and usability.
Now, users can enrol through IDnow and seamlessly authenticate high-risk activities via Keyless, without repeating verification steps.
Continuous Trust Throughout the Lifecycle
Unlike traditional models, this partnership introduces a “Continuous Trust” framework, securing identity beyond the initial check. According to IDnow CEO Andreas Bodczek:
“Trust is no longer a one-time checkpoint but a continuous process.”
This new system ensures identity protection at every point — including sensitive changes or recovery — significantly raising the bar on security.
Frictionless, Biometric Authentication
Keyless enables secure, fast biometric verification without storing biometric data. Instead, it converts face and device data into non-PII encrypted formats, maintaining privacy.
Verification completes in under 300 milliseconds, allowing users to authenticate without delays — or worry about how their biometrics are stored.
Seamless Onboarding Experience
A standout feature is silent enrolment. Previously, users had to enrol separately with both IDnow and Keyless — causing extra steps and potential friction.
Fabian Eberle, Keyless COO, explains:
“The game changer here is silent enrolment. We enrol users into Keyless automatically during the IDnow verification process.”
This reduces onboarding friction while retaining full compliance and security, making the solution ideal for regulated industries like banking, fintech, and insurance.
A Timely Move in a Risky Landscape
With digital fraud surging and regulations tightening, such innovations arrive at a critical moment. Emerging fraud types demand multi-layered protection, and IDnow + Keyless offer exactly that.
By maintaining continuous verification and secure authentication — without harming user experience — this partnership sets a new benchmark in digital identity verification.
Final Thoughts
This partnership redefines how we think about digital identity in Europe and beyond. No longer a single checkpoint, trust now flows across the user journey.
Thanks to Keyless and IDnow, digital identity verification is faster, safer, and more private — just as it should be.
