Benefit and Beyon Connect have signed an agreement to provide Qualified Electronic Signature (QES) services in Bahrain via the ‘OneID’ digital ID and ‘OneBox’ digital postbox solutions. The deal, the companies said, would transform the way the residents of Bahrain will sign documents, not only ensuring compliance but also providing a seamless digital user experience through the use of cutting edge OneID and OneBox technologies.
OneBox will enable secure communication, transmission, and storage of the signed documents in one safe, convenient, and trusted digital space. Customers will have access to the new digital services around the clock reducing the need to visit physical locations in person. OneID, which is available as a mobile application for both iOS and Android, enables individuals to register a unique and highly secure digital identity, to interact securely with digital services.
It allows onboarding through a simple and secure e-KYC process supporting passport and national ID cards with facial recognition and liveness check. Benefit will extend their Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) to integrate into the innovative OneID digital identity and OneBox digital postbox solutions and services delivered by Beyon Connect to reduce the need for manual signing of documents, applications, and official paperwork. PKI enables a user to electronically sign a document and prove its from a legitimate source.
Benefit CEO Abdulwahed AlJanahi said, “We are pleased to join hands with Beyon Connect to offer our customers new innovative services by integrating Benefit’s trusted certificates into OneID and OneBox solutions.” “Our highly secure digital ID and communication platform is built on transparency, privacy, and trust, so we see real synergy with the value and technologies Benefit brings to the table,” says Christian Rasmussen, CEO of Beyon Connect. Beyon Connect, which launched in January, is a subsidiary of Batelco.
