BLUENUMBER DIGITAL ID (B# ID)

Every B# ID is unique and references only one specific entity. B#IDs are universal. They can identify all the people, organisations, places or things in complex systems. B# IDs are always registered, indexed and searchable free of charge. It costs nothing to create, assign or receive a B# ID. Each B# ID is a primary key for the same entity across any data system. B# IDs enable free data exchange between users based on their own permissions. 

People in places with a weak financial services infrastructure do not have accounts, credit histories or standard documentation. The World Bank says there are 2 billion unbanked people in the world today. But, of these, 1 billion have mobile phones, which represents a new avenue for mobile money and financial services. Digital inclusion enables financial inclusion.

Bluenumbers let people create real-world profiles in lieu of a formal credit history. A digital identity including sales records, peer testimonials and uploaded evidence of good practice and local standing, may be accepted instead of traditional certificates or documents.
