The challenges retail is facing
Reduce customer frustration with itsme. Ensure fast, effortless and user-friendly processes across the insurance journey, from onboarding to claims.
![]()
Duplicate and unverfied accounts
One shopper ends up with several accounts, and some accounts have no real person behind them.
![]()
Promotion abuse
Welcome discounts get claimed again under new email addresses, and bots buy up limited releases.
![]()
Unreliable customer data
Typos, outdated addresses and made-up names – but the cost of onboarding remains the same.
![]()
Friction at sign-up and login
Long forms lose customers before the first order. Forgotten passwords lose them at checkout and fill the support queue.
![]()
Age checks that are easy to dodge
A tick box doesn’t stop a 15-year-old, and heavier checks slow down every adult.
![]()
Higher expectations in every channel
Shoppers expect the app, the web shop and the store to know them. Having to maintain multiple accounts and resetting passwords increases the drop-off rate.
Why retailers choose itsme
Digitise services, boost customer experience
When customers register or join with itsme, they share data from their official ID document with a single confirmation. Names and details arrive complete and correct, and each verified customer holds one account. Welcome offers reach new customers once, and a real-person check keeps bots and fake accounts out of limited releases.
Customer records your marketing, service and compliance teams can rely on
Fewer duplicate and fake accounts, and less promotion abuse

No password to create, forget or steal
Shoppers remember what they came to buy and forget the password. With itsme, customers create an account and log in by confirming in the itsme app. Return visits take seconds, there are no password-reset emails, and fewer carts are abandonned at the login screen.
Faster sign-up and return visits
Fewer password resets and support contacts

Age checks in seconds, online and in store
In the Netherlands, the Alcohol Act requires online sellers to check age before the purchase and again at delivery. And under the Digital Service Act, large online platforms need to implement security measures for minors. With itsme, the customer confirms their age without sharing a birthdate or documents. The same check can run in the web shop, at a pickup point or at a self-checkout.
Age-restricted products and services, online and in store
No birthdate exposed and nothing retained after the check

It’s the same customer, from the web shop to the shop floor
Web shop and app
Account creation, login, loyalty and confirmation of high-value orders, all with one identity.
Click and collect
Customers open the locker holding their order by confirming on their phone, through partners such as locker specialist Telloport. Every handover leaves a record of who collected what, and when.
Self-checkout
Age checks on the customer’s own phone, so an age-restricted item doesn’t hold up the queue.
