How ConnectID Works
Why ConnectID
For when you need to prove who you are ConnectID is here to help by only sharing the information that is required, keeping you in control. With your consent, ConnectID enables the secure transfer of data without ever seeing or storing your personal information.
Confirming your identity. Connecting you to who you need.
ConnectID connects convenience with confidence. Precision with privacy. Knowing you’re only sharing exactly what you need to, exactly when it’s needed – and knowing that your data is being kept safe at every step.
ConnectID will always ask for your consent before any information is shared, meaning you're always in control of what information is shared and when. Your data is then transferred securely - so you can breathe easy.
ConnectID is accredited under the Australian Government’s Trusted Digital Identity Framework (TDIF) and built to the standards set by the Australian Government, so you know your data is safe and secure. ConnectID is an initiative of Australian Payments Plus (AP+). AP+ brings together eftpos, BPAY and NPP Australia, as one organisation to shape the future of payments.
A part of your every day Prove who you are. Simply and Securely.
When you make a purchase or sign up to a new service online, you are often required to share personal information such as your name, address, date of birth and more. Instead of manually filling in forms with ConnectID you can use the information you have stored with an organisation you already trust to verify your identity.
Take control of your data
It’s your identity, you’re in the driver seat.
- You choose which trusted source to share your data from and you can use the same source each time.
- You will always be asked to review and provide your consent to share.
- Eliminates the need to share physical identity documents such as licenses and passports.
- ConnectID only shares the information that is required, helping you reduce the amount of data you share.
Making proving who you are simple
In the moments that matter, you need to prove that you are really you.
- Enabled through participating organisations so there is no need to sign up or download a separate app.
- You are verified using information stored by an organisation you already trust, no manual forms, sharing physical documents or filling in data.
- Your information is only shared with organisations that are approved to join the ConnectID network – so you know your data is going where it should be.
