By leveraging trusted national digital identity infrastructure, we are enabling citizens and residents to access regulated digital services with confidence.”
Beyon Connect CEO Chris Hild added that trust and security are the foundations of financial services. He notes, “This step represents an important advancement toward building a sophisticated and future-ready financial ecosystem in the Kingdom of Bahrain.”
