PSA, DICT, GCash National ID eVerify integration
By J.Lo
“At GCash, trust and security are at the core of our work for our customers…when we secure our services through centralized authentication process, we can ensure legitimacy of all our users through National ID…we are better positioned to foster financial inclusion for more Filipinos when we have safer financial platforms,” GCash mobile wallet operator, G-Xchange Inc.president and CEO Ren-Ren Reyes said in line with shared mission to promote financial inclusion in the country, Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), together with Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), has tapped GCash as pilot testing partner for its National ID eVerify platform.
Initiative, led by PSA and DICT, aims to provide secure and seamless way for government agencies and private sector partners to authenticate their customers’ identities.
For financial institutions like GCash, this platform can facilitate faster and more secure know-your-customer (KYC) process, as it provides reliable method to verify identity of potential customers. This allows individuals to provide fewer physical requirements and speed up their account opening process.
With National ID eVerify, organizations can better avoid document fraud and ensure civil registry documents presented by individuals are genuine and issued by PSA.
The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) launches the Digital National ID, National ID Check and National ID eVerify with the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT).
“This opportunity to continue working with PSA and DICT not only allows us to improve user experience further but also contributes to Philippine government’s digitalization agenda,” Reyes stressed.
Reyes further noted that IDs issued through PSA’s Philippine Identification System (PhilSys), including PhilIDs and ePhilIDs, are already among most commonly presented valid IDs for GCash account verification.
Undersecretary Dennis Mapa, national statistician and civil registrar general of PSA, said, “ Philippine Statistics Authority remains steadfast in its goal to register all Filipinos within National ID system ensuring our unwavering commitment to providing unified National identification system to all our kababayans.”
For his part, DICT Undersecretary for e-Government David Almirol Jr. expressed GCash’s vital participation in pilot tests will lead to more efficient and responsive systems.
“National eVerify will streamline and improve way we do things in the government… amplify and simplify private and government consumption…if we are able to implement this well with help of both private and government sectors, digital transformation in Philippines will come to fruition…efficient services shall be delivered to Filipino people…no long queues in government offices… Filipinos can now process documents and apply private and government services in the comfort of their homes,” he said.
Secretary Frederick Go, special assistant to the president for investment and economic affairs, also noted that this initiative is just beginning of its strategic partnership with PSA, DICT and GCash as they share goal of providing vital assistance to most vulnerable communities in the country.
“Digital National ID is beacon of hope, reminder that even most ambitious dreams can become reality when we work together towards common goal,” he said.
Currently, GCash is closely working with PSA and DICT to ensure seamless integration with eVerify platform.
