Identification and Authentication are important processes that help to keep you and your customers safe in the digital world. They enable you to be confident that you know who your customer is, ensuring that they are entitled to access your service and can continue to do so securely and confidently.
This is especially important in financial services and adjacent services such as gambling. In these the threat of criminal activity, including money laundering, financing terrorism and fraud, requires that robust identification and authentication are employed.
As a consequence, organisations operating in these areas are required to comply with regulatory requirements designed to tackle the threat of financial crime. Organisations are required to take a risk-based approach, understanding both the risks present in the markets in which they operate as well as the risks to themselves specifically. Only when the risks are fully understood can the right choice of identification and authentication solutions be made.
This guide explains what identification and authentication are, presenting an overview of the technologies that can help you. It also arms you with key questions to put to suppliers when determining which solutions will meet your needs best. There are numerous suppliers in the identification and authentication space addressing different parts of the process in different ways. The body of this guide does not name specific suppliers but provides you with the information and guidance needed for you to find suitable suppliers. There are several Payments Association members with relevant solutions. These are listed in the appendix along with Payments Association ambassadors that have expertise in this area.

We use an auto-login link to ensure optimum security for your members hub. Simply enter your professional work e-mail address into the input area and you’ll receive a link to directly access your account.
Instead of using passwords, we e-mail you a link to log in to the site. This allows us to automatically verify you and apply member benefits based on your e-mail domain name.

Sometimes our e-mails end up in spam. Make sure to check your spam folder for e-mails from The Payments Association
Most modern e-mail clients now separate e-mails into different tabs. For example, Outlook has an “Other” tab, and Gmail has tabs for different types of e-mails, such as promotional.
For security reasons the link will expire after 60 minutes. Try submitting the login form again and wait a few seconds for the e-mail to arrive.
The link will only work one time – once it’s been clicked, the link won’t log you in again. Instead, you’ll need to go back to the login screen and generate a new link.
Make sure you’re clicking the link on the most recent e-mail that’s been sent to you. We recommend deleting the e-mail once you’ve clicked the link.
Some security systems will automatically click on links in e-mails to check for phishing, malware, viruses and other malicious threats. If these have been clicked, it won’t work when you try to click on the link.
For security reasons, e-mail address changes can only be complete by your Member Engagement Manager. Please contact the team directly for further help.
