Itsme

What Itsme does

Belgian Mobile ID SA/NV operates itsme, a mobile-based digital identity and authentication platform headquartered in Brussels. Launched in 2017, itsme enables consumers to securely log in, register online accounts, confirm transactions, and sign documents with legal validity using a single mobile application that combines multi-factor authentication with device biometrics and data encryption. The platform serves nearly 8 million users across more than 1,000 partner companies and platforms, including all major Belgian banks (ING, KBC, Belfius, BNP Paribas), insurance providers (AG Insurance, Ethias), telecom operators (Telenet, Orange, Proximus), and financial services firms (Payconiq, Monizze).

Itsme's technology stack is anchored by multi-factor authentication, biometric verification, and cryptography-enhanced security — the latter reinforced through its October 2023 acquisition of Leuven-based nextAuth, which added passwordless MFA with device biometrics. The company expanded geographically in December 2025 with the acquisition of iDIN, a Dutch banking-consortium identification service operated by Currence, enabling its Netherlands launch in spring 2026 and targeting availability across all 27 EU member states in alignment with the EUDI Wallet rollout under eIDAS 2.0.

Itsme generates revenue through B2B platform licensing on a subscription/recurring basis, where enterprises — primarily banks, insurers, telecom providers, and government services — integrate its authentication and identity verification infrastructure into their platforms. The company is privately held and was funded in July 2021 with approximately $29.26 million from a strategic shareholder group led by SFPI-FPIM alongside Belfius, BNP Paribas Fortis, ING Belgium, KBC, Orange Belgium, Proximus, and Telenet. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales executed through major financial institution and telecom partnerships, leveraging these relationships as both customer relationships and distribution channels to end consumers.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Signicat: Signicat is a Nordic-based digital identity platform offering eID, e-signing, and identity verification across Europe. It is the closest direct peer to itsme in product scope and European focus, competing for the same regulated cross-border identity use cases.
• ID.me: ID.me is a US digital identity wallet providing login, identity verification, and group affiliation verification for government and commercial use. It parallels itsme's model of a single reusable identity used across many relying parties, though US-focused.
• Yoti: Yoti is a UK-based digital identity platform providing biometric age and identity verification, reusable digital IDs, and e-signing. It is comparable to itsme in offering consumer-facing identity wallets with regulated-sector (banking, government) customers across Europe.
• Verimi: Verimi is a German digital identity platform backed by major German enterprises and banks, providing login, e-signature, and identity verification. It mirrors itsme's bank-consortium model and targets the same European consumer and enterprise identity wallet use case.
• iDIN: iDIN is the Dutch bank-developed online identification service, recently acquired by itsme. Prior to acquisition it was a direct competitor in the Dutch market and remains a key product within the itsme portfolio as it transitions to full integration by 2028.

Broad incumbents

• Okta: Okta is a global workforce and customer identity platform offering MFA, SSO, and identity verification. It competes with itsme on authentication and customer IAM but operates as a broad enterprise platform rather than a consumer-scale reusable wallet.

Regional players

• MitID: MitID is Denmark's national digital identity wallet, jointly operated by Danish banks and the public sector. It is comparable to itsme as a consumer-scale mobile identity wallet with bank-led governance, though it is government-backed rather than privately operated.
• FranceConnect / FranceConnect+: FranceConnect is the French government's national digital identity federation, with FranceConnect+ adding qualified identity assurance. It competes with itsme in the same EU regulatory environment and represents the public-sector model itsme will face as EUDI Wallets roll out.
• BankID (Norway/Sweden): BankID is a national bank-issued digital identity scheme dominant in Norway and Sweden, providing mobile-based authentication and electronic signatures. It shares itsme's banking-consortium DNA and consumer-scale adoption but operates only in Nordic geographies.

Emerging players

• Onfido: Onfido is a global identity verification provider focused on AI-driven KYC and document verification. It overlaps with itsme on the identity verification/KYC use case but does not offer the same consumer-scale reusable wallet model.
