Belgian digital identity platform Itsme has launched in the Netherlands following its acquisition of Dutch banking verification service iDIN, marking another step in the company’s effort to build a cross-border identity platform ahead of the European Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet rollout. The move reflects a broader shift in Europe as digital identity providers prepare for a future built around interoperable digital credentials, digital wallets and cross-border verification services. The Belgium-based platform says its goal is to eventually replace the existing iDIN system, established in 2016. Itsme announced it plans to merge the system into its own in December last year, allowing Dutch users to identify themselves with organizations such as postal service PostNL and national credit register BKR (Bureau Krediet Registratie). More services are expected to be added in the future.
