When a prospect says "we're planning to build this ourselves" - this is the question that reframes the conversation
Should your engineers/IT teams maintain 10+schemes, or build your core product?
Identity Gateway launches with this many digital identity schemes and they share this trait - important for credibility.
10 schemes - all mature, high adoption national schemes, not pilots.

Ongoing scheme/certification maintenance across markets - LSEG manages it.

Connect once. Verify everywhere.
A prospect asks "what exactly happens when my customer uses this?" - this is the one-line answer.
Customer authenticates with an ID they already have - no document upload, instant result.
A prospect asks "why is this MORE secure than what we have?" - this is the answer in one line
A government-issued ID is much harder to fake than a photo or selfie.
When a prospect says "July 2027 is years away" - this is the one line response that creates urgency NOW
Real implementation takes 6-9 months - so 2026 is when you need to start

A gateway, not point integrations
