Snapping a selfie is now all it takes for Filipinos to verify their identity and open a bank account, as the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) and the Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) inked the subscription contract for the adoption of the National ID Authentication Services (NIDAS) to eliminate paper barriers and usher in a faster, safer, and fully inclusive digital banking.
Under this partnership, eligible National ID holders can now seamlessly open a bank account through the BPI app using a live selfie matched directly against their record in the National ID registry. The real-time biometric verification eliminates the need for physical ID card uploads or additional secondary documentation, delivering a faster, simpler, and more secure onboarding experience.
As more institutions adopt NIDAS, the PSA continues to expand the ways Filipinos can use their National IDs in everyday transactions. ๐ชช๐ฑ
Financial institutions interested in partnering with or onboarding to the National ID system may reach the PSA via email at ๐๐ฉ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐๐@๐ฉ๐ฌ๐.๐ ๐จ๐ฏ.๐ฉ๐ก.
