I've had some strong views over the years that banks should capitalise on the cautious trust their customers have in them and use it to offer identity-as-a-service.
This would basically involve:
- Using the bank-grand security infrastructure to also offer a consumer-facing service to store customer's identity
- Offer a simple identity protection service:
- Scan for use of the identity and notify the customer when unauthorised use occurs
- Broker the data subject rights embedded in legislation like GDPR and execute services around right-to-be-forgotten for the customer (i.e. can you please tell these companies to provide all information they have on me and then exercise my right-to-be-forgotten?)
- Allow the identity-as-a-service provider act on behalf of the customer - to do simple things like changing utility provider
