Credas Certified as Digital Identity Provider For UK

Identity verification company Credas Technologies has been certified to perform digital identity verification for the Right to Work, Right to Rent and anti-money laundering checks (AML) that are being mandated in the UK.

Credas has become one of the first AML providers to be certified against the UK Government’s Digital Identity and Attributes Trust Framework (DIATF) following an assessment of their technology, IT security, processes, policies and governance.

With the property sector required by legislation to verify its clients for anti-money laundering purposes, many businesses have turned to Identity Service Providers (IDSPs) to help them manage their customer due diligence.

Up until recently, though, there was no minimum published standard for the operations of an IDSP. This changed when the UK government introduced a certification programme for IDSPs to meet the requirements of their Trust Framework, which acts as a trustmark.
