Identity is yours™.
Your customer’s identity is more than documents that can be forged or passwords that can be stolen. Their bank, employer, insurance carrier, and phone company have established trusted relationships with them over years. Associated ID™ lets those institutions confirm those relationships to you, so you can verify your customer's identity, safely, securely and in seconds, with one tap on their phone.
Who are you, how can I trust you, and who already trusts you?
Three questions every institution asks when it meets someone new. It is how trust has always worked: not just what someone claims about themselves, but who already knows them. Today, each institution answers alone, from its own data, against fraud that scales faster than any single institution can match. Yet the answer is where it has always been: with the institutions that already know the customer. A person's bank, their employer, their healthcare provider: each knows them in a different context. We have always trusted through references. Associated ID makes the customer's own institutions the references. The answer travels; the data never does. It stays inside the institution that owns it, protected exactly as it has always been, while Associated ID carries only sealed, encrypted confirmations it cannot read, exposing not a single relationship.
How It Works, In Plain Terms
-
Your customer taps once on their phone, inside your own sign up process, after the KYC documents are submitted.
-
The institutions that already know them confirm their relationship, each from its own records, for that one transaction.
-
Associated ID carries the confirmations and is designed not to read them. The confirmation travels; the data never does. No central identity database is created.
-
You set how many confirmations are enough. Associated ID confirms. The institution decides.
Why Associated ID
Institutions already know you.
Identity is not rebuilt from scratch online; it is confirmed through the relationships that already exist. Your bank already knows you. Your employer already knows you.
The confirmation moves. The relationship does not.
Designed to verify without exposing private relationships, readable personal data, or policy decisions.
Confirmation, not judgment.
The institutions that know the customer make the confirmation; Associated ID carries it; the institution decides. It makes no determination and holds no score.
No central identity database.
Your records stay with the institutions that already hold them. There is no central vault to breach and no honeypot to build.
For People And For Agents
Associated ID is designed for human and agent identity. An AI agent has no bank and no employer; the person or company behind it does. Associated ID is designed to let the institutions that already know them confirm who is behind the agent.
