CBA signs sharing economy digital identity agreement with Airtasker

Monday 27 February 2017 10:02 CET | News

Commonwealth Bank of Australia has signed a landmark deal with online jobs marketplace Airtasker, aiming to change the way customers prove the veracity of their identity in the online sharing economy.

The companies have kicked off a pilot program that allows customers’ bank to prove their identity on the online jobs market to help establish a more reliable reputation. After connecting through an application-programming interface (API), CBA will verify Airtasker customer names and dates of birth against bank account information to allow them to add a CBA badge to their Airtasker profile.

In the future, CBA could vouch for its customers by publishing the longevity of the banking relationship and, should customers approve, the strength of their balance sheet.
