With the rise in identity fraud , how do you see decentralised identity ( DID ) improving KYC processes and security for both banks and consumers in the near future ?
In 2023 , identity fraud losses amounted to US $ 23 billion in financial harm for American consumers . Decentralised identity
( DID ) offers a secure and efficient way to enhance KYC processes and protect both banks and consumers .
DID allows users to store and manage identity documents securely through digital wallets or distributed ledgers , reducing the risk of fraud and data breaches . Customers gain control over their digital identities , only sharing information when necessary , which builds trust and streamlines onboarding .
Banks benefit from tamper-proof storage and cryptographic verification , ensuring accurate authentication and improved security . DID also addresses AI-driven fraud , such as deepfakes , by offering robust protection against advanced fraud techniques .
