- New solution addresses fragmentation in digital identity schemes, enabling organisations to connect once and verify customers seamlessly across multiple jurisdictions.
- Designed to reduce time-to-market by up to 80–90% compared to independent integration.
LSEG Risk Intelligence today announced, at Money 20/20 Europe, the launch of Identity Gateway, a new technology infrastructure layer designed to simplify access to trusted digital identity schemes.
As organisations expand across borders, they are increasingly forced to integrate and manage identity verification methods market by market, creating operational complexity, cost, and inconsistent customer experiences.
Identity Gateway, built on Microsoft Azure, addresses this by providing organisations with a single, standardised API and commercial framework through which they can connect to multiple government-backed and regulated private digital identity schemes. While direct integrations with individual schemes can take several months per market, Identity Gateway is designed to reduce time-to-market by up to 80–90% compared to independent integration.
Daniel Flowe, Head of Digital Identity at LSEG Risk Intelligence, said:
“Digital identity is reaching an inflection point. As trusted national and private schemes continue to emerge, organisations need a simpler way to access them without rebuilding their identity processes market by market.
“Identity Gateway helps solve that challenge by creating a standardised access layer that supports scale, reduces complexity and enables more trusted, higher-assurance digital experiences across borders.”
Identity Gateway also addresses a growing challenge of fragmentation of national and private identity schemes, each with differing standards, assurance levels, and regulatory requirements. This challenge is expected to intensify as new regulatory and national initiatives emerge. For example, under the EU Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet framework, each of the 27 EU member states will introduce its own implementation of digital identity.
Initially, Identity Gateway provides access to digital identity schemes across 10 European markets including Italy, the Netherlands, Denmark and Spain where national digital identity schemes are already widely adopted. Additional countries and digital identity schemes are expected to be added in future.
Creating a global access layer for digital identity
Identity Gateway is designed as a single access layer for digital identity schemes, allowing organisations to connect once and access multiple providers without separate integrations or contracts.
The platform routes verification requests across government-backed and private schemes, returning standardised identity data that can be integrated into existing onboarding and risk workflows.
Part of a broader digital identity strategy
Identity Gateway forms part of LSEG Risk Intelligence’s wider identity verification offering, alongside data-based and document-based methods. The platform is intended to support a risk-based approach, allowing organisations to apply different identity checks depending on market conditions, regulatory requirements, and transaction risk while improving customer experience.
Identity Gateway was launched at Money 20/20 Europe – one of the largest fintech industry events globally.
