Navigating a shifting identity landscape

Most consumers now conduct their personal business through digital channels — and they expect identity verification to be fast, seamless, and secure.

At the same time, digital commerce has created a massive opportunity for fraudsters. Fraud has moved beyond stolen documents into synthetic identities, deepfakes, and account opening fraud, eroding trust in digital finance.

Digital identity expectations are evolving rapidly across regulated markets. New frameworks such as eIDAS and EU Digital Identity Wallets are raising expectations for how identity is established, reused and trusted online.
As digital identity ecosystems evolve, organisations face additional challenges:

  • Regulatory pressure around AML, fraud prevention, privacy, and digital identity trust frameworks is increasing.
  • National and private digital identity schemes are expanding, but integration remains inconsistent and fragmented.

Organisations must strengthen identity assurance without increasing friction or operational complexity.

FAQs

  • LSEG Identity Gateway is a unified platform that enables organisations to verify customer identities using trusted digital identity schemes from around the world through a single API integration and one commercial agreement. It acts as a global orchestration layer between customer journeys and multiple national and private digital identity schemes, returning verified identity attributes in a standardised format.

  • LSEG Identity Gateway addresses the fragmented and complex digital identity landscape, where organisations must navigate multiple identity schemes, varying assurance levels and legal, contractual and operational complexity across markets. It helps organisations strengthen identity assurance while supporting scalable customer experiences across regions.

  • LSEG Identity Gateway connects once to trusted digital identity schemes through a single integration. LSEG manages scheme onboarding, change and maintenance, routes authentication to the appropriate scheme, and returns consistent identity responses that can be integrated into existing onboarding, risk and decisioning workflows.

  • Organisations can apply digital identity selectively at the point of need, such as during onboarding, account changes or higher risk interactions. This allows higher assurance identity methods to be used without adding friction across every customer journey.

  • Identity Gateway is designed to help organisations operate with greater confidence in regulated environments as digital identity and remote onboarding expectations evolve across regions, including eIDAS aligned frameworks[HB1.1]. It supports consistent identity assurance across markets as regulatory expectations change.

  • By providing a single integration and single commercial agreement, Identity Gateway reduces the legal, technical and operational effort associated with building and maintaining country by country identity scheme integrations. LSEG manages scheme complexity centrally through the orchestration layer.
