The ninth, and penultimate, roundtable in the Visa Europe CSFI Fellowship series on "Identity and Financial Services" will be held at the Innholder's Hall, 30 College Street, London EC4R 2RH from 12.30pm-2.15pm on 26th January 2012. (Download invitation PDF (125K).)
We’ve got to the penultimate roundtable in the Visa Europe Fellowship Programme where we must begin to think of practical recommendations on “identity” for organizations in the financial services sector. Given the excellent discussion and debate at the previous roundtables we think we understand the basic models, the size of the problem, the potential benefits of a solution and even have some ideas about the technologies. Now it’s time to start integrating the thinking into some practical suggestions for stakeholders: what should banks and other financial institutions, their suppliers and partners, their customers and the sector has a whole do about identity in 2012? Are there plausible strategies for them or are they doomed to see Google, Facebook and iTunes take over the customers’ identities in day to day transactions?
Richard Martin is from the UK Payments Council, which has convened a project team called Operation Gaia (Government Authentication & Identity Assurance), to assess the case for banking involvement in government-sponsored ID initiative.
Sarah Greasley is an IBM Distinguished Engineer and has specific expertise in enterprise cloud applications for large financial institutions

Robs me of that which not enriches him, and makes me poor indeed.
William Shakespeare, Othello (Act 3, Scene 3).
