Identis Group invested in Credence ID to bridge Physical and Digital ID

Identis Group strengthens its Secure Identity ecosystem by acquiring Credence ID, unlocking new market opportunities worldwide.

SWITZERLAND--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Identis Group, a global leader in Secure Identity and Payment technologies, places a strategic investment in Credence ID, a leader in mobile identity, biometrics, and standards-based digital ID solutions.

This investment represents a strategic milestone in Identis’ growth trajectory, enabling the Group to expand its presence across high-growth markets and further strengthen its global footprint.

By integrating Credence ID into its ecosystem, Identis completes its identity proposition, fully embedding digital capabilities across the entire identity lifecycle, from secure onboarding and ID verification to credential issuance and management, enabling a seamless, secure journey.

This expanded portfolio makes digital identity creation and verification possible anywhere, across both remote and in-person channels, with consistent security and user experience, according to the mission of building the world's most reliable mobile identity solutions.

“This collaboration aligns perfectly with our vision of identity as an ecosystem rather than a standalone product,” said Mr. Camilleri, CEO of Identis. “Working with Credence ID enables us to accelerate access to new technologies while delivering robust, end-to-end Identity Solutions that respond to local requirements and global standards.”

By combining Credence ID’s expertise in digital credentials, such as Mobile Driver’s Licenses (mDL), standard’s compliant digital wallets, and biometric identity platforms with Identis’ global scale, trusted issuance infrastructure, and international reach, the group can now deliver a uniquely comprehensive “Physical-to-Digital” identity platform.

Together, the companies will support the full identity lifecycle, secure issuance, digital & physical provisioning, mobile credential management, and real-time verification, for governments, financial institutions, and enterprises around the world.

With this evolution, Identis Group positions itself among a very small group of manufacturers worldwide able to deliver a complete Secure Identity solution.

“This is a watershed moment for Credence ID,” said Bruce Hanson, President & CEO of Credence ID. “For years, we have focused on building the most secure and field-proven mobile identity solutions in the market. By joining forces with Identis, we gain the financial strength and global distribution network needed to bring our 'Verify with Credence™' platform to every corner of the globe. This isn't just an investment: it’s a force multiplier for our mission to make digital identity secure and accessible for everyone.”

Under the continued leadership of Bruce Hanson (CEO), Yash Shah (CTO) and David Barcelo (CFO), Credence ID will remain focused on interoperability, privacy-preserving design, and standards-based digital identity adoption.

This partnership reinforces Identis’ evolution into a provider of fully integrated identity ecosystems, encompassing hardware, software, and digital platforms. It also reflects the Group’s ongoing commitment to building strategic alliances that enhance customer value, people and technologies.
