The proposed future.

The EU Commission will provide funds to a consortium whose job is to launch a payments pilot for the bloc’s digital ID wallet.

The NOBID (Nordic-Baltic eID Project) has been chosen to head a multi-national consortium comprising a number of companies such as Thales and iProov, who are expected to start the pilot focusing on payments – one of four EU digital identity pilots – in March 2023.
