iDenfy partners with Verimi to enable electronic ID verification in Germany
Verimi’s single-wallet authentication and electronic signature capabilities are now live on iDenfy’s eIDV system for the German market
London, United Kingdom (June 03, 2026)
iDenfy, an international RegTech provider that specializes in identity verification and fraud prevention solutions, has teamed up with Verimi’s electronic ID verification platform. Verimi’s bank-backed digital ID wallet can now be implemented into iDenfy’s existing non-document-based verification workflow. Now every business can identify German users with credentials that they have already set up with their service provider, without asking to present an ID card on the onboarding journey.
In Europe, Germany is one of the biggest digital ID markets, and its foundations have been considerably strengthened over the last few years. With ~84M people in Germany, and an internet penetration of over 93.5%, and volumes of online onboarding increasing for German banks, public authorities, and insurance companies, businesses across these industries are moving away from onboarding based in physical buildings with paper documentation, to a process-based on digitisation and this increased compliance is accompanied by increased pressure from regulators, particularly Regulation (EU) 2024/1183. With eIDAS 2.0, all 27 EU member states must be able to grant their citizens access to an EU Digital Identity Wallet by 31 December 2026, and banks, e-money institutions, and payment institutions must be able to accept wallet-based credentials for Strong Customer Authentication; for German companies, the ability to process renewable digital ID documents is now simply required.
Verimi works as a reusable ID wallet, whereby the user can get verified and secure their data on the Verimi App once, and then reuse these credentials to log in or sign up with any company service, or to provide qualified electronic signatures with multiple parties, without having to re-enter the verification details.
The wallet is bank-backed, developed in cooperation with major German financial institutions, and holds an eIDAS substantial and high assurance certification approved by the Federal Ministry of the Interior. It also operates under BaFin’s ZAG license, placing it within the same regulatory framework that governs licensed payment institutions in Germany.
For businesses, this model has a direct impact on onboarding conversion. A user who has already completed identity verification through Verimi does not need to photograph a document, wait for a liveness check to process, or re-enter personal data that their wallet already holds. The session moves from initiation to completion faster, with fewer points of failure. According to research from Fenergo, businesses globally spend $72.9 million per year on AML and KYC compliance while simultaneously losing clients to slow or friction-heavy onboarding flows. Reducing that friction at the credential presentation stage is one of the more direct levers available to businesses looking to improve completion rates without reducing compliance rigor.
“Verimi solves a problem that physical document verification was never designed to handle at scale. A user who banks digitally, files taxes online, and authenticates with their phone every day should not have to photograph a card to open a new account. The Verimi integration means our clients can meet that user with a process that matches how they already manage their identity,” said Domantas Ciulde, CEO of iDenfy.
The Verimi integration sits within iDenfy’s broader non-document verification framework, which was built to operate alongside the platform’s standard document-based KYC flow. Businesses can configure the platform to route users to an electronic ID verification path automatically when document capture is unavailable or fails due to image quality or lighting conditions, a scenario that iDenfy’s internal data identifies as a recurring source of session drop-off. The combined flow is available to all iDenfy clients at no additional cost and can be activated through dashboard settings without new integration work.
iDenfy’s platform currently covers over 16,000+ government-issued documents across over 200+ countries and territories. The addition of Verimi extends the non-document layer of that coverage, giving businesses serving German users a complete verification toolkit that handles both document-based and wallet-based identity presentation within a single system. Cases that fall outside automated parameters are reviewed by iDenfy’s internal compliance team, which operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with no interruptions for weekends or public holidays.
“Germany’s digital identity landscape is built around reuse and regulatory accountability. Verimi reflects both of those principles. Adding it to our platform is the right move for clients who need compliant, low-friction onboarding in one of Europe’s most demanding regulatory environments,” added Domantas Ciulde, the CEO of iDenfy.
