The first recorded use of the word identity in English was in 1545, by a rather controversial Churchman named John Bale – or, to those unfortunate enough to have quarrelled with him, ‘bilious Bale’.
Back in the 16th Century however, ‘ydemptyte’ referred to “sameness, oneness, [the] state of being the same” – a far cry from our modern day focus on identity as something unique to each and every individual.

Signing up new customers even when performing KYC checks should be simple. Get the whole process wrong and you can run into issues with identity and payment fraud, regulatory failures and increased operational costs.
