LSEG Risk Intelligence, a provider of digital identity and risk solutions, has unveiled Identity Gateway, a new technology infrastructure layer built to streamline access to trusted digital identity schemes across multiple jurisdictions.
The product is designed to provide organisations with a single, standardised API and commercial framework through which they can connect to government-backed and regulated private digital identity schemes.
LSEG Risk Intelligence says the solution is capable of reducing time-to-market by up to 80–90% compared with independent integration, where direct connections with individual schemes can take several months per market.
Identity Gateway has been built on Microsoft Azure and aims to tackle the operational burden placed on organisations that must currently integrate and manage identity verification methods on a market-by-market basis as they expand across borders. The platform routes verification requests across participating schemes and returns standardised identity data that can be plugged into existing onboarding and risk workflows, removing the need for separate integrations or contracts with individual providers.
The launch also responds to a deepening fragmentation challenge across national and private identity schemes, which operate under differing standards, assurance levels and regulatory requirements. This complexity is expected to grow as new regulatory initiatives take shape, including the EU Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet framework, under which all 27 EU member states will introduce their own digital identity implementations.
At launch, Identity Gateway covers digital identity schemes across ten European markets, including Italy, the Netherlands, Denmark and Spain, where national schemes are already widely adopted. Further countries and schemes are expected to be added over time.
LSEG Risk Intelligence head of digital identity Daniel Flowe said, “Digital identity is reaching an inflection point. As trusted national and private schemes continue to emerge, organisations need a simpler way to access them without rebuilding their identity processes market by market.
“Identity Gateway helps solve that challenge by creating a standardised access layer that supports scale, reduces complexity and enables more trusted, higher-assurance digital experiences across borders.”
