Online ID verification causes friction for customers more often than not, yet identity theft makes up 40 percent of Europe’s online fraud. Digital identity can work simply and deliver trust like payment cards, however, says Mastercard.
The EU Digital Identity Wallet is in part a recognition of this issue, according to a post by Mastercard EVP for Services Europe Michele Centemero, who sees an opportunity for digital ID to work more like his company’s forte, digital payments.
Mastercard supports the EUDI Wallet program as an advisor to the EU’s NOBID project, and a partner in the WE BUILD Consortium. The payments giant’s work with the EU’s Large-Scale Pilots compliments its work to integrate card-based payments into EUDI Wallets and harmonize strong customer authentication (SCA), Centemero writes. One of the possible advantages of this integration is building attribute checks, such as for age or country of residence, into payment transactions.
The company is also working on related international standards, such as those overseen by the FIDO Alliance and EMVCo.
Mastercard is also certified to the UK Digital Identity and Attributes Trust Framework (DIATF) as an orchestration service provider.
“Through ongoing investments in biometric authentication, AI-powered fraud detection and privacy-by-design solutions, we’re helping build the confidence Europe needs to lead in the digital age,” Centemero concludes.

Digital money will be the end of freedom.
I am so tired of these people.
I pay all my bills through the USPS and have had zero problems.
Totalitarians hate cash.
Good for you. The regional post office in the ATL area is a train wreck, you can look that up easily, and I know from personal discussions with my former chief of police that there was inside stuff happening at the local post office where I lived for many years.
My assessment holds for my geography, your personal experience does not negate that.
I recommend people not mail checks. Period.
See my #25; and you are spot on.
People who trust the U.S. Mail are living in the past. A local P.O. may still be good, have good people, but the overall system is broken.
Digital identity can work simply and deliver trust like payment cards.
Hackers drooling go ID fishing $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Do NOT use the U.S. Mail, it has been trashed by DEI.
There is ink that doesn't wash but I agree. Had it happen to me and while I was at the bank they told me that someone's tax payment for the county was stolen as well. I rarely write checks
It looks like this varies widely by region for sure.
Atlanta is known as one of the “bad ones”.
“”This won’t happen tomorrow, of course.””
Like many Christians today, I hope to be long gone by the time this stuff occurs. And my fondest wish is... that we’ll be able to watch the earthly events from our perch ‘up above’. And maybe there will even be popcorn! (I jest, but still...)
I call the number and tell the voice I want to make a payment of whatever amount. “You’re all set. Goodbye.”
Amen to that!! 🙏🙏🙏
Luke 21:34-36
King James Version
34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, AND CARES OF THIS LIFE, and so that Day come upon you UNAWARES.
35 FOR AS A SNARE SHALL IT COME on all them that dwell on the face of the whole Earth.
36 WATCH YE THEREFORE, AND PRAY ALWAYS, that ye may be accounted worthy TO ESCAPE ALL THESE THINGS that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.

From the article (since I had no idea what this was):
“Mastercard is also working on mobile driver’s licenses (mDLs) to go in those digital wallets.”
The (Raleigh) police are still tight lipped due to open investigation but, they note it was an inside job INSIDE the post office. Addresses the scream; a check is inside (like NC Dep’t of Revenue) are targets to be stolen. Esp Govt Agencies that are incompetent as hell or take a while to figure out a check due is missing. BTW that Agency took SEVEN MONTHS to note that check we sent didn’t arrive. Don’t use USPS to mail checks !
They have been working on this and tried unsuccessfully to launch it during the Scamdemic. Too much pushback last time they tried this scheme of theirs, but they are baaaackkkkkkkk.
And as in most cases, Billy boy Gates is behind it. The same wicked man who now wants people to use tattoos instead of physical cell phones. Been reading the Book of Revelation much?

“Mastercard joins ID2020 Alliance to advance digital identity as a fundamental human right”
“...Mastercard has been increasingly focused on expanding its focus on fintech and biometrics, and has also been working with partners on supporting payments with gait or facial biometrics.”

Seems like the Chinese certainly
got THAT one going already
This is a really good explanation of the harm that is coming which will eventually remove private ownership and everything eventually will be “tokenized”.
