The partnership will help businesses move from repeated identity checks to frictionless onboarding, authentication and electronic signature processes using eIDAS 2.0 private enterprise and end-user wallets
LONDON — Signicat, the European digital identity leader and trust services provider, and TrustTech, the digital trust infrastructure company specializing in identity verification, reusable compliance checks and trusted signatures, today announced a partnership to help regulated businesses build reusable identity processes through private wallet ecosystems.
The partnership combines Signicat’s digital identity platform capabilities with TrustTech’s trust infrastructure, designed to connect every step from first identity verification to final signature on eIDAS 2.0 standards. Together, the companies will help enterprises replace fragmented identity checks, password-based authentication, and repetitive signing processes with a single, private wallet-driven flow. This enables verified identity and trusted information to be established once and reused across systems, organizations and borders.
“Regulated organizations are dealing with identity across more touchpoints than ever, from customer onboarding to employee access, partner checks and digital signing,” said Thijs Vink, Chief of Enterprise Central & Southern Europe at Signicat. “Private wallets give them a practical way to bring those journeys together today, rather than waiting for the wider public wallet ecosystem to mature. By partnering with TrustTech, we can help enterprises create trusted identity experiences that are easier to manage, safer to use and ready to scale across Europe.”
The partnership will initially focus on financial services, government, healthcare and pharma. Rather than waiting for future government-mandated wallets, these organizations are increasingly deploying EU-ready and compliant private wallets for their employees and customers. This approach allows faster onboarding, passwordless security, and fewer repeated checks across internal systems, partner networks, and supply-chain journeys.
“Customers, employees and partners should not have to prove who they are again and again, and institutions cannot afford to rebuild trust from scratch every time,” said Rens Pennings, Chief Commercial Officer at TrustTech. “By combining TrustTech’s proven reusable trust infrastructure with Signicat’s European scale, we can help regulated enterprises move from one-off verification to reusable identity. The result is faster onboarding, less manual work and trusted digital journeys that work across private wallets, sector wallets and the wider European identity ecosystem.”
