Paris, on 26-09-24 - Luminess, the ESN specializing in intelligent document processing and business process outsourcing (1 employees worldwide), announces today that it is investing in A3BC (Anything Anytime, Anywhere Biometric Connections). Founded in 2018, the company A3BC, a private player in French Tech, complements the State's digital initiatives to offer private companies and individuals a universal digital identity solution.
This partnership – encompassing capital, technology, and commercial aspects – will enable A3BC to accelerate its development. Furthermore, through this equity investment and the integration of a Digital Identity Portfolio already in production, Luminess strengthens its position in this market and anticipates the expected growth of new uses, driven by the eIDAS V2 regulation which came into force last May.
A key stake for Luminess…
With the evolution of technology, digital identity plays a crucial role in electronic transactions and access to government and private services. At a time of widespread digitization and ever-increasing risks of identity theft and document fraud , the need for identification is growing. In this context, the digital identity wallet (e-wallet) – whose use is expected to expand, driven by the eIDAS V2 regulation – offers a solution for simultaneously increasing trust, security, and ease of use of services.
By 2030, all key public services should be available online. 80% of citizens will then be able to use a digital identification method.
It is in this context that Luminess – the leading Mayenne-based company in digital data management and intelligent document processing – is today forging a strategic partnership with the digital identity provider A3BC . Luminess's acquisition of a stake in A3BC represents a tremendous opportunity to strengthen its position in the digital trust landscape. This partnership supports A3BC's ambition to become a leader in digital identity.
...which will accelerate the development of the TrustMe solution…
Thanks to this investment, A3BC is able to support the deployment of its TrustMe digital identity solution, which has just been integrated into the list of identity providers on FranceConnect, and to continue its substantial level certification process with ANSSI.
This partnership comes at a strategic moment in the development of A3BC. TrustMe should see a significant increase in its users following its integration into FranceConnect. We will thus be able to benefit from the industrial and technological expertise of the Luminess group to calmly absorb this increase in power, and also jointly develop the uses of TrustMe with private and public actors.
…to offer a complete digitalization of courses
Luminess, a recognized player in Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) , has been supporting its clients for many years in the digitalization of their customer onboarding and subscription processes (health insurance subscriptions, health insurance card renewals, bank account openings, hospital pre-admissions, etc.). Combined with Luminess's advanced document processing and fraud detection technologies, the TrustMe Digital Identity Wallet solution developed by A3BC allows users to authenticate themselves and securely share documents and/or electronic attestations of attributes (age, education level, health insurance coverage, etc.) with their consent.
Unique on the market, this solution, already used in the temporary work sector, will meet the expectations of Banks / Insurance Companies / Mutuals in securing and streamlining their processes.
This investment in A3BC is perfectly in line with our development strategy in the digital identity market, which is today at the heart of trust and security issues for companies and individuals. With TrustMe, we are strengthening our offering in terms of process digitalization while anticipating new regulations. Our partnership will accelerate the adoption of innovative, secure solutions that are adapted to market needs.
