We have some exciting news to bring you this week from a number of areas.

Firstly, Blockpass is honoured to have been featured in a comprehensive report from a well-renowned market research company. Beyond this, we highlight our AdPASS campaigns which continue to promote growth of the ecosystem and opportunities for Blockpass users. We take a look at a recent interview with Legacy Trust in the first of an extended series of content which will be coming for Blockpass members. Our next event, Security Tokens Realised 2020, is highlighted, and we hope many of you can make it there to see us. We also showcase our latest article, which examines the process of KYC and how this might impact on a future of digital economies and smart devices. Finally, we have our KYC Connect® section and our 5 Minutes With interview, which this week focuses on Bianca Guimaraes-Chadwick, a Lawyer who works as an essential part of the Blockpass legal team. We hope you enjoy and that we see you soon!



Blockpass Recognised in Research Report
In tacit acknowledgement of the promise and potential of the work we do here at Blockpass, we were delighted to see Blockpass feature in the recent Forrester report on digital identity: “New Tech: Decentralized Digital Identity (DDID)”.

The independent report first contacted Blockpass about inclusion in June of last year. We are committed to continuing to research and develop in the field of decentralised digital identity to maintain our place at the head of innovation.

The Process of KYC and its Future
Despite being an essential method to keep financial services safe and secure, many methods of Know Your Customer and Anti-Money Laundering compliance take a significant amount of time, effort and money. The process itself has various stages and options which depend on the particular services being offered, the details of individuals involved, or potential risk.

Today, human and business identities are the main focus for these regulations, but as objects and smart devices become a part of the digital economy and financial services system, the amount of identities that will need to be vetted will rapidly grow.
