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.

FYI everyone, you CAN and SHOULD say you want to “opt out” if they want to scan your face for biometric purposes. Simply so “I'm opting out” because they can not force you to do this against your will. Nobody has the right to take your God-given image using these technological facial recognition methods.

“...The directive also introduces facial recognition technology into the screening process at select airports. Credential Authentication Technology (CAT-2) scanners equipped with facial recognition have already been installed at 84 airports, with plans to expand the program to over 400 locations.
Participation in facial recognition screening remains optional. Passengers may opt out and request a manual ID check without losing their place in line or experiencing delays...”

Not enough people understand this. China is a prime example of how that will work. It is total control and total lockout anytime the government desires.
