Smartlands, a platform for tokenization of real economy assets, today announced a partnership with Civic, the leading global identity provider, to implement identity verification services. This partnership brings secure, trusted identity verification, including Know Your Customer (KYC), to the Smartlands platform, establishing security safeguards that are critical to establishing trust and handling customer data.

The Smartlands Team has completed the test integration of Civic’s KYC application with the Smartlands Wallet, to ensure technological compatibility of the platforms.

Civic is an identity verification platform, powered by blockchain technology. With Civic, customer data is stored locally on a user’s mobile device, protected by biometrics and encryption. This allows users to have control over their personal information and allows them to safely and securely share their identity information on-demand. By implementing Civic identity verification solutions, Smartlands will insure that customer data is private and secure while improving convenience and user-experience.

KYC is a procedure for validating the identity information of customers, which is required for many businesses that work in the financial services industry.
