Digital identity · Czech Republic

We created the Czech bank identity.

Our team stood at the birth of BankID.cz — the service that lets people in the Czech Republic prove who they are online with their bank login. We then built and ran it.

The idea

People already trust their bank with their money and log in to it every day. Why not let them use the same login to prove who they are — to the state and to private companies?

That idea became BankID.cz: a shared bank identity connected to the national identity network (NIA), giving citizens one familiar way to sign in and verify themselves online. [Add the year and founding context.]

What it means for you

We know digital identity in banking from the inside: scheme rules, certification, architecture and day-to-day operations. That experience now goes into every project — from a bank becoming an identity provider to getting ready for the EU Digital Identity Wallet.
