6 in 10 consumers demand ‘robust digital identity verification’ from financial services

This is based on a survey conducted by Jumio.

Before getting involved with financial services, 63% of consumers said it is necessary to use a digital identity to prove who they say they are, a survey from identity verification firm, Jumio, showed.

The Digital Identity in 2022 study indicated that consumers are expecting brands or certain sectors to provide digital identity to create an online account or complete a transaction.

Following the financial sector, 54% of consumers also said digital identity must be present in healthcare whilst 46% of consumers said digital identity must also be provided on social media.

According to Jumio, consumers indicated robust identity verification because sensitive personal data is a concern in these sectors.

Almost nine in 10 consumers also indicated that they are more likely to participate with an organisation online if there are robust verification measures in place.

“But this research reveals the demand for digital identity solutions, too – particularly in the financial services and healthcare spaces – and is clearly now a point of differentiation. Implementing these kinds of solutions should be a ‘when,’ not a ‘maybe,’ and will now ultimately determine whether a consumer chooses your business over another,” Philipp Pointner, Jumio’s chief of digital identity, said in a statement.

The research, conducted by market research, Opinium, from 7 to 14 April 2022, polled about 8,000 adult consumers across the UK, the US, Singapore, and Mexico. 

Consumers in Singapore (70%) reported the highest level of digital identity to access online accounts.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
