Barclaycard and Evernym partner to create identity solutions for the future

Barclaycard partner with Evernym, a blockchain based identity provider who provide a self-sovereign identity (SSI) scheme. 

SSI allows users to manage their identity data and keep it securely stored. Barclaycard could use self-sovereign identity to help keep their customers information safe or offer alternative methods to login without using usernames and passwords. 

Evernym provides a 12 month accelerator programme, which will allow Barclaycard to evolve its SSI solution using the experience, skills and expertise of Evernym.
