ID2020 Alliance welcomes Mastercard as partner

Mastercard and ID2020 share the belief that digital identity is a fundamental human right that each individual has control over, that digital identity is a crucial step towards financial inclusion and to building a world where technology protects everyone. By joining the ID2020 Alliance, who are advocates for digital identity in developing markets, both companies believe that their collective technologies, networks, and connections can better bridge the gap and provide viable solutions for everyone. This collaboration builds on Mastercard’s commitment to facilitate how people manage and use their digital identity and follows the publication of the company’s model for digital identity, which is founded on user-centric principles such as data ownership, confidentiality, consent, and transparency, and embodies privacy-by-design.
