As one of the most well-established online banks in Germany, comdirect now offers its customers identification solution of AUTHADA by means of an electronic identity card within seconds. comdirect is thus taking advantage of the opportunity to make banking and investing even simpler and more intuitive for its customers and is thus proving itself to be a leader in innovation.

comdirect is the first direct bank to rely on AUTHADA's White Label SDK. AUTHADA's identification solution is fully integrated into comdirect's app and corporate design. With this integration, comdirect allows its customers to identify themselves particularly quickly, securely and without having to switch media.. For a user who opens a depot with comdirect, he can identify himself within seconds using the AUTHADA solution in the comdirect app. Like the complete comdirect service itself, remote identification is available from anywhere at any time of the day or night. The user only needs his electronic ID card, the associated six-digit PIN and an NFC-capable Android smartphone or tablet for the digital identification process.

The AUTHADA solution meets all the requirements of the Money Laundering Act (AMLA), the Banking Act (KWG) and the Federal Administration Office (BVA). AUTHADA solutions guarantee maximum security and are certified by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI).

Jörg Jessen, CEO of AUTHADA, characterizes the new business relationship as follows: "The fact that one of the leading direct banks in Germany is launching our integrated identification solution is another milestone for AUTHADA this year. comdirect thus offers by far the fastest and most customer-friendly account opening in Germany and we know that we will very soon be gaining further major financial service providers as partners. We would like to thank comdirect for the trust they have placed in us". Matthias Hach, board member at comdirect, adds: "Identifying with eID is in line with our strategy of making banking and brokerage as easy, fast and convenient as possible for our customers. And with the integration of AUTHADA, we will significantly accelerate the opening of securities accounts. " Stefan Schütze, CEO of FinLab AG, which already joined AUTHADA in 2016, adds: "We are pleased to have won comdirect bank AG as a customer, one of the leading online brokers in Germany. This confirms the quality of our products and will provide further momentum in the upcoming market penetration".
