The Reality Check

The Reality Check

What is the EU Digital Identity Wallet?

The EUDI Wallet transforms how customers prove their identity. It's a secure mobile app that stores official documents—from national IDs to professional certificates—in one encrypted, tamper-proof place.

One wallet, 27 countries: Works seamlessly across all EU member states

Total control: Customers choose what to share and when

Always accessible: Functions offline for basic verification

Bank-level security: Encrypted storage protects their most sensitive documents

Turn identity verification into a competitive advantage. The EUDI Wallet makes compliance effortless while giving your customers the frictionless experience they expect.

What EUDI Wallets Mean for Your Business

EUDI Wallets create new opportunities, but compliance stays complex. By 2026, businesses across the EU must be ready to accept these digital identity wallets.

Regulatory requirement – Obliged entities must accept EUDI Wallets under AMLR

Partial solution – Wallets streamline some onboarding steps but won't cover full compliance requirements

Fourthline's approach – We'll provide an orchestration layer that seamlessly integrates EUDI Wallets into your complete compliance flow

You get the efficiency of digital wallets without the compliance gaps. Fourthline handles the complexity so you can focus on your customers.
