ATB Ventures is Shaping the Future of Digital Identity

ATB Ventures is Shaping the Future of Digital Identity by Joining Canada’s Digital ID & Authentication Council of Canada

ATB Ventures, the innovation arm of the leading Alberta-based financial institution ATB Financial, is deepening its commitment to shape the future of digital identity by becoming a member of the Digital ID & Authentication Council of Canada (DIACC). DIACC is a non-profit coalition of public and private sector leaders committed to developing a Canadian digital identification and authentication framework.

Launched in 2020, ATB Ventures is a diverse team of entrepreneurs, technologists, and data scientists who are seeding growth at the edges of innovation and exploring opportunities beyond financial services. ATB Ventures turns inventions into commercial reality by building, partnering and investing in technology to create the marketable products and services of tomorrow. We harness emerging trends to keep ATB, its customers and Alberta at the forefront of innovation.

Digital identity has the potential to unlock significant economic and social benefits, including increased access to fundamental services including banking, education and healthcare. However, as technology continues to rapidly evolve, the application of digital identity innovations needs to be considered thoroughly before their potential can be fully realized.

ATB Ventures has been exploring emerging identity solutions for the past two years. Private-by-design, the team recently launched Oliu, a blockchain-based, self-sovereign credential platform. ATB Ventures is already piloting the platform with beta customers.

On top of developing next-generation identity solutions, the ATB Ventures team is also passionate about contributing to open-source projects that democratize the technology behind digital identity solutions. They have been actively involved in projects such as Sovrin Network, Hyperledger Aries, Hyperledger Indy and community initiatives like the COVID-19 Credential Initiative (CCI). In addition to these global initiatives, ATB Ventures recently launched and Chairs the Alberta Open Identity Initiative (AOID).

Through its product development initiatives and partnership with DIACC, ATB is deepening its commitment to closing the identity gap and working with organizations across industries, geographies and technologies to advance Canada’s digital identity agenda in a safe, secure and inclusive way.

“ATB is committed to fostering strong industry partnerships that will build on the strengths of Alberta’s growing reputation as a global leader in technology,” said Curtis Stange, President and CEO, ATB Financial. “This work is all the more vital in a post-pandemic world where crises can spur and accelerate innovation.”
