itsme
Launched in 2017, itsme® (also known as Belgian Mobile ID) is a smartphone-based eID that provides a secure and convenient way to identify yourself, share your ID data and log in to apps and websites across 16 different countries.
European Digital ID
Use itsme® to log into your online banking and confirm payments, get access to public services, create online accounts, log in safely to your internet of things and confirm orders – all without the hassle of creating and remembering multiple usernames and passwords. The number of websites and apps accepting itsme® already covers a variety of services and keeps growing.
Getting started with itsme®
To get started, first download the itsme® app and sign up with the applicable ID for your country. The app will guide you through a number of security steps until you are able to choose your personal 5-digit itsme® code. This will be the code you use for any future logins through itsme®.
In Belgium, you can use your eID or bank card (with your card reader) to create your account. You will need to create an identification token on the itsme® website to start the process, using your eID or bank card and a card reader.
itsme® for business
Itsme® helps businesses provide a better experience to their customers. Make it easy to log in, approve transactions and identify yourself. Improve KYC processes and streamline onboarding processes by giving your customers the convenience of using their itsme® eID to share their data quickly and securely. Reduce abandonment rates by ensuring data completeness and accuracy the first time.
Security
itsme® is ISO27001 certified and conforms with both local laws and EU laws regarding digital identity and data sharing, including eIDAS and GDPR. Data is always encrypted when stored or communicated with itsme® partners.
