Preparing to verify customers across Asia and Europe.
Our Malta operating hub supports plans to connect Asian and European identity verification, building on our Greater Bay Area work.
By Matthew Lee
A customer may hold identity documents from one country while applying for financial services in another. The institution needs a reliable way to verify that identity and a lawful way to receive the personal data. These are the practical questions behind Fill Easy’s planned work connecting Asian and European customer onboarding.
Establishing our European base
Fill Easy (Malta) Limited is our EU operating hub. The plans are supported by Malta National Foreign Direct Investment Screening Office approval, reference 1412, and a Business Development Scheme grant from Malta Enterprise. This gives the European work an operating base as the EU develops its digital identity infrastructure under eIDAS 2.0 and the European Digital Identity Wallet programme.
Our existing government identity integrations and Greater Bay Area work provide experience to build on. A cross-border service must establish which authority confirms the customer’s details, which attributes can be shared and how the receiving institution can use them. Keeping the source, retrieval time and request reference with a result helps the institution understand what was checked and retain that record in the customer’s file.
What we plan to support
The aim is to serve Asian customers applying to European financial institutions and European customers entering Asian onboarding journeys. Each connection needs its own identity-source access, data-transfer arrangements and integration with the receiving institution. The Malta hub supports that development; the specific European services remain part of our roadmap.
If your institution serves customers across these regions, contact us with the countries and identity checks you need. We can discuss the available services and the work required for the proposed connection.
