Universal Identity extends Sardine’s platform with a reusable, consent-driven identity layer. Users verify their identity once and can instantly reuse it across any Sardine-powered application. By eliminating repeated verification steps, we reduce drop-off, accelerate approvals, and create a smoother experience for both users and businesses.

​
Why Universal Identity?

Key benefits of Universal Identity:
  • Faster Onboarding: Users verify once and reuse their identity for future transactions.
  • Higher Approvals: Reducing friction while maintaining strong fraud controls leads to more completed transactions.
  • Consent-Driven: Users remain in full control of when and where their identity is shared.
  • Flexible Requirements: Partners request only the data they need, and Sardine delivers what is available.

​
How it Works

  1. Initial Verification: During their first transaction, the user verifies their identity and consents to saving it with Sardine.
  2. Secure Storage: Verified data and documents are securely stored.
  3. Instant Reuse: When the user returns or visits another Sardine partner, they simply consent to share their existing identity.
  4. Seamless Transaction: The payment proceeds immediately without additional steps.

​
Benefits

  • For Users: A consistent, interruption-free experience across platforms.
  • For Businesses: Higher conversion rates and lower compliance costs.
  • For the Ecosystem: A growing network of verified users strengthens security for everyone.
