Unlocking the potential of trusted digital identity in Australia

30 May 2023

A white paper from Australian Payments Plus and Deloitte Australia

This paper focuses on the benefits that may be realised in Australia from new investments being made in digital identity and the design considerations necessary to achieve these benefits. Our observations add to a growing body of research on digital identity and hope to inform the future discourse in Australia specifically. The paper draws primarily on the experience of the ConnectID® team at Australian Payments Plus who are responsible for building a digital identity network for Australia, the Digital Trust team at Deloitte Australia, and insights gathered from our customers, partners and advisors. We also draw on the insights of other observers and thankfully acknowledge their direct and indirect contributions.

You can expect to see ConnectID rolling out gradually across institutions and businesses in Australia during 2023.

ConnectID is an initiative of Australian Payments Plus (AP+). AP+ brings together eftpos, BPAY and NPP Australia as one organisation to shape the future of payment experiences.
