On the internet, no one knows if your teenager has “borrowed” your credit card, no one knows if that online dating profile is a real person, and no one knows if that property you’re renting for a weekend away actually exists. 

Trusted identities or not, our digital interactions have become a vital and inextricable part of our everyday lives. We want the convenience and the added scope and scale the internet has brought us. What we need now is security as well as convenience. Companies and consumers crave trust. 

The great challenge for online businesses is: How do you trust someone you don’t yet know?

Increasingly, the answer is: Use providerless technology. 

With providerless technology, companies can collaborate to vouch for one another’s users. Real users are already known and trusted by the brands they use regularly. Once that knowledge is shared, no user is ever really known again. And it’s possible for providerless solutions to be built privacy-first, so that no personal user data ever leaves the company it was given to by the user.

The potential for providerless technology is tremendously exciting, with new possibilities opening up for fraud prevention, improving online user experience and reducing false declines.
