The Growing Importance of Digital Identity Wallets

In recent years, the digitalisation of services has become a key area of focus for governments and businesses alike. With digitalisation comes an increasing reliance on digital interactions, and it is therefore becoming paramount for individuals to possess secure, accessible, and verifiable digital identity credentials.

To this end, some governments are focusing on establishing ‘gov super apps’, which store digital IDs, amongst other credentials, and allow users to have a personalised secure interaction with a wide range of government services.

Other governments, meanwhile, are focusing on digital identity wallets, for managing and storing personal identity information in a secure and easily accessible digital format.
