The 24 September 2020 Digital Finance Strategy 1 announced the Commission’s ambition: “By 2024, the EU should implement a sound legal framework enabling the use of interoperable digital identity solutions which will enable new customers to access financial services quickly and easily (“on boarding”). This framework should be based on more harmonised anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) rules and a revised framework for electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions (e-IDAS Regulation). It should enable customer data to be reused subject to informed customer consent, which is based on full transparency about the consequences and implications of such reuse.”
The purpose of this contract is to engage the services of the contractor to take forward work on a digital identity framework that can be used to facilitate portability of customer identities in the financial sector and which can be used across borders. In line with the objectives set out both in the Digital Finance Strategy, as well in the May 2020 AML Action Plan 2 to reinforce the AML rulebook and incorporate, inter alia, customer due diligence requirements into a future regulation, the contractors should take into consideration that the future EU regulatory framework is expected to be characterised by more harmonised rules which could, inter alia, facilitate cross-border interoperability. The Commission also envisages to put in place an updated eIDAS framework which will be more open to use by the private sector with the current framework of trust services extended for eID and attributes/credentials/attestations.
