Belgian Mobile ID, known for its successful app itsme®, is a Belgian scale-up and pioneer in digitalization. In 2017, Belgian Mobile ID united the seven Belgian market leaders from the banking and telecommunications sector: Belfius, BNP Paribas Fortis, KBC, ING and Orange Belgium, Proximus and Telenet. Through joint efforts, they developed itsme®, Belgium's official mobile identity. With this mobile identity app, every Belgian citizen can identify him/herself when logging into digital applications, when approving (payment) transactions and even when signing official documents. Card readers, passwords or cards with tokens are no longer required. itsme® guarantees secure identification through the combination of the itsme® app, the user’s mobile phone and the user’s unique itsme® PIN or biometric identification. itsme® is recognized as a Level of Assurance ‘High’ e-identification mean, and as a ‘qualified’ trust services provider for electronic signatures in the eIDAS regulation, which means that the app complies with the highest security levels. 

The number of users of the identity app itsme continues to rise. In one year, 700,000 itsme accounts were added, a growth of 11%.
