Simple, secure identity verification

ConnectID® is a new, secure way to verify your identity using your bank. 
verify_connectid

Simple

ConnectID lets you prove who you are using details already stored with your bank. With your consent, your bank securely shares your details with the business requesting it — no identity document uploads needed.

Secure

ConnectID never sees or stores your personal information at any time - it's just the bridge that directs your data to where you’ve  authorised it to go.

Minimise data shared

ConnectID helps you verify your identity while sharing less personal information. For example, buying alcohol online may only require your name and confirmation that you’re over 18, while social media age checks may only need confirmation that you’re over 16 — without needing to share your name or upload identity documents like your driver licence or passport.

This means less of your personal information is shared with businesses, and less information for them to collect and store.

Who is ConnectID available to?

ConnectID is available to customers of CommBank, NAB, ANZ Plus and Westpac.
