Think of ConnectID as the secure bridge that connects your data to where you’ve authorised it to go. ConnectID is available during the purchase or sign up moment with participating businesses. There’s no need to sign up to ConnectID or download an app, just select an Identity Provider that you trust—like CommBank—and confirm the data you’d like to share.
ConnectID does not see or store any of your personal information at any time. And when using the ConnectID service your banking information such as passwords and login credentials are never shared. “What’s important to know is that ConnectID is not creating a new honey pot of data. We never see or store customer data,” explains Andrew Black, ConnectID managing director at Australian Payments Plus.
ConnectID is the secure, stress-free way to prove who you are online. You can keep track of where and when you shared your data through a consent history log available through the CommBank app.
“CBA continues to invest in digital identity as an important building block of Australia’s digital economy. ConnectID offers our customers greater control over their data, enabling them to share only what is necessary, all backed by the security of the CommBank app. For merchants, it provides a frictionless experience for their customers and reduces the threat of identity-related fraud,” says Gavin Leon, general manager open banking at Commonwealth Bank.
