Avoco apply a “continuous innovation” approach to development to keep ahead of the competition.
Our mantra is simple: to provide great identity tools to give industry the versatility to better compete.
Avoco work across the identity space to innovate – adding benefit across the spectrum of uses of online identity and identity data. These areas include:
Open Banking Assured Identity

- Mass support for assured IDs: Support any person who uses online banking; 38 million citizens in the UK and half a billion across the EU and the U.S.
- Assured identity and data: Use the power of already CDD/KYC checked identities to empower your own service with trust

- Consent discovery supported for management
- Purchases verified using Open Banking or other verification service but no account needed. Transaction is verified and secure.
Blockchain
- Avoco can use both private and public blockchains to:
- Prove they are verified to a certain level
- Prove (in a privacy enhanced manner) they have certain attributes, e.g. over 18
- Keep a record of consent and revocation of consent, to share verified identity data
BitCardID
A way to visualise blockchain entries. Customers can see a set of digital cards in a wallet. Each card represents a verified attribute that is anchored on a blockchain or distributed ledger. Services can consumer these cards under user consent. Cards can be used to minimally disclose user data helping to meet compliance requirements such as GDPR.
Assured, Versatile, Identity Verification
Verification is a hurdle to the creation and uptake of assured identities. Avoco are working across a number of areas, including Machine Learning to improve the way in which wide demographic users have identity checks performed during registration and post registration; we see verification as an ongoing process – user verification and assurance is a lifecycle and part of the life history of an identity service. This approach provides a mechanism for better CX, more robust security, and the ability to develop relationships that stand the test of time.
