Cross-border digital identity app interface confirming user authentication across European corridors

The transition toward reusable digital identity infrastructure across Europe has achieved another major cross-border milestone. Belgian digital identity platform Itsme has officially launched expansion into the Netherlands, preparing financial institutions and commercial enterprises for the upcoming European Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet framework.

High consumer demand for one-click reusable identity portals

New research surveying over 4,000 European consumers uncovers a massive gap between customer expectations and current onboarding realities. While consumers rate smooth digital identification at 75 out of 100 in importance, traditional onboarding flows scored a dismal 34 due to manual ID photo uploads, slow video calls, and redundant document checks.

Consumers overwhelmingly prefer standalone reusable identity apps that allow one-click authorization across banking, insurance, and telecom services. For enterprise networks, deepidv's Arc gateway provides a native integration layer that ingests reusable identity credentials and wallet tokens in sub-150ms parameters, eliminating applicant drop-off while satisfying eIDAS 2.0 criteria.
