The Interac Verified app allows Canadians who bank with a participating financial institution to save digital credentials and share them securely with participating online service providers. It enables you to verify your identity, store digital credentials, and securely share them with people, businesses and organizations. Leveraging your smartphone’s encryption capabilities, it ensures your personal information remains private and secure. The Interac Verified app requires your explicit consent to manage and share your personal details easily from your smartphone, enabling you to take charge of your data.
An Interac Verified credential is a digitally signed and encrypted record stored within the Interac Verified app, containing verified personal details such as your name and date of birth. This credential requires your explicit approval before any personal information is shared. For instance, if verification of being over 19 years old is required, only your age status is shared, not your exact date of birth. Interac manages the process so that only the necessary information is requested and shared, tailoring each request to the specific verification needs.
Your personal information is securely stored on your smartphone and is accessible only by you. The app employs advanced encryption techniques alongside your smartphone’s security features to help keep your data private and protected.
