CAFE and NAFLI Present: “Who Gets Verified? Redesigning Digital Identity Systems for Trust and Scale"
In today’s digital economy, proving who you are is more than a security step—it’s a gateway to opportunity, access, and participation. But as identity systems grow more automated and complex, who gets verified—and who gets left out—raises urgent questions about bias, trust, and equity.
This discussion is especially critical for financial institutions, which sit at the intersection of identity, regulation, and innovation. As banks and fintechs modernize KYC, BSA/AML, and fraud protocols, the way they verify identity has major implications—not only for compliance and security, but for real people trying to open accounts, access credit, or build wealth.
Our expert panel will unpack how emerging identity technologies—from biometric tools to open digital frameworks—are reshaping the customer experience, and how to build systems that are both secure and inclusive by design. We’ll dive into the technical, regulatory, and operational challenges facing financial institutions, while keeping people at the center of the conversation.
Panelists include:
🔹 Kristen Castell, Managing Director, CAFE (Moderator)
🔹 Amanda Estiverne, Board Member, NAFLI & Payment Strategist
🔹 Eliza Garber, Digital Trust Leader, OpenID Foundation
🔹 Martha Underwood, Founder & CEO, Prismm
Whether you’re a bank executive, fintech builder, or digital strategist, this is a timely, actionable session on the future of identity—and how we can redesign systems that balance innovation, regulation, and humanity.
