What is OnlyID
FIS and Equifax jointly created OnlyID™ in conjunction with Global Kinetic developers. OnlyID is a digital authentication solution that helps protect consumers’ identities and allows them to make transactions across multiple online accounts securely.
Without the need of passwords, consumers can access OnlyID with a single registered identity through their preferred financial institutions and e-retailers that have joined the OnlyID Network.
Thus providing an easier way to access online accounts and protect your personal information. OnlyID is a powerful network comprised of financial institutions, businesses, and retailers. Once your identity is established in the network, use OnlyID to sign in to participating accounts and conduct transactions.
Using a chosen digital device you can create your personal identity in an easy step-by-step process.
Once your OnlyID account is established, that’s it. A simple, one-step authentication performed in real time allows you to access your accounts in the OnlyID network, creating a more convenient, more secure experience. The OnlyID Network consists of authenticated consumers who use a universal digital representation of their identity to interact with businesses in the network.
