System Engineer @ Itsme
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.
In 2020, three years after the launch, 2.8 million Belgians installed the itsme® app and a total of 90 million transactions were made. In 2021, itsme® continues to grow with more than 100.000 new end-users per month and more than 10 million transactions per month. In July 2021, the app crossed the milestone of 3.5 million end-users.
Belgian Mobile ID closed partnerships with more than 800 companies, both in public and private sectors. The government is counted as one partner in this total amount, with more than 2.000 platforms. Although itsme® is mainly used for government purposes and in the banking, insurance and telecommunications sector, the importance of the app is increasing in other sectors as well. Examples of other industries are the gaming industry (e.g. Napoleon Games), HR sector, hospitals, mobility services, … This versatility of industries demonstrates the application’s scalability. Examples of usage:
- In the gaming sector, itsme® can be used to check the validity of the identity card and the age, which is necessary at the time of payment.
- In hospitals, itsme® can be used to check medical records or make appointments.
To further expand the product range of the app itsme®, Belgian Mobile ID is looking into data sharing. Data is scattered everywhere (at the government, your university, your employer,…) and has its own lifecycle. With the app itsme®, Belgian Mobile ID wants to fill in this gap and form the bridge between two entities, at which an end-user gives explicit permission to exchange data (without storing the data at itsme® side though). For example: If you are applying for a job at a new employer, you could give the employer explicit access to your diploma with the app itsme®. Belgian Mobile ID is concretizing this plan, by starting with the automation of the ‘know your customer’ processes of banks. At the end of 2021, they presented a first user case.
