https://www.auspayplus.com.au/solutions/connectid

ConnectID relies on banks’ KYC-verified date of birth to return yes/no age assertions; the peer to peer exchange model ensures that no Personal Identity information is ever visible to ConnectID; in addition, the model ensures only consented minimal data (e.g. over 18) is shared.

Strengths

Successfully deployed with relying parties for real-world use cases:
• Same-day alcohol delivery verification (NSW Liquor Act)
• Knife sale restriction enforcement (Queensland Jack’s Law)
• Onboarding with Telco SIM card activation

Summary of Results

ConnectID provides a model for fast, accurate and private age verification using existing customer account data. By leveraging KYC-verified DOBs from banks and enforcing user-controlled consent flows, ConnectID ensures high assurance with minimal friction. Its federated architecture, regulatory alignment and zero data retention approach make it ideal for sectors demanding both security and usability.

Privacy Policy

In addition to the structured Practice Statements, the Trial also reviewed publicly available Privacy Policies for all participating providers. This formed a key part of the Trial’s ethical due diligence and helped assess how well declared practices aligned with actual documentation and observed system behaviour.

Practice Statement

Practice Statements are formal documents submitted by participating providers, outlining how their systems function and how they claim to meet specific expectations under international and domestic standards. They offer providers an opportunity to articulate their system’s design in their own words — similar to a ‘statement of practice’ or ‘system disclosure’ used in certification and compliance contexts.

Interview

As part of the Trial’s commitment to transparency and accuracy, the team prepared a written summary of each vendor interview, capturing key points regarding system design, functionality and implementation claims. These summaries were shared with participants for review, allowing them to check, verify and suggest corrections where necessary.

Test Report

Individual Vendor Test Reports were developed for each participating provider. These reports formally document the results of the functional, usability and security evaluations carried out during the Trial and are intended to support public understanding, regulatory scrutiny and future conformity assessment or certification processes.
