It is planned to start testing passenger boarding on some trains of the Russian Railways holding company using a QR code from the State Services application in April 2024, the company's press service reported. If the results of the experiment at the pilot site are successful, they intend to expand the list of trains and routes for which tickets can be purchased using the new technology.

Sberbank also expects jordan whatsapp number database to start accepting the application in its offices in 2024. They are currently working out the technical details of the project with the Ministry of Digital Development. Then, the financial institution will also need to make some adjustments, the press service told Izvestia. They added that the transition to using Gosuslugi as an analogue of a passport will be voluntary. This will allow market players to support the technology as it becomes ready.

“Any introduction of new mechanisms, even in pilot mode, requires participants to purchase equipment for reading digital documents,” noted Alexey Voylukov, Vice President of the Association of Russian Banks.

At the same time, using the State Services application as another way to identify clients will help simplify banking services, according to VTB's press service. For example, this will reduce the time it takes to receive financial services and the number of documents that need to be brought when visiting a branch in person.

Mobile operators are also participating in the project discussion. Tele 2 plans to join the pilot when the legislative framework is ready, the organization's press service reported. They noted that they support initiatives aimed at simplifying the customer journey. The new service can be used to activate SIM cards and service operations.

Pros and Cons of Digital ID
The new mechanism was also supported in the insurance market. The project will help facilitate citizens' access to various services, agreed Nikolai Galushin, CEO of the National Insurance Information System (NIIS). He emphasized that nothing changes in terms of concluding an agreement. However, risks of personal data leakage may arise. Therefore, reliable protection of the personal account on "Gosuslugi" is needed, the expert noted.

New services should also be protected from fraud so that citizens are not afraid to use them, agreed Alexey Voylukov.

The success of the initiative will depend on the technical implementation scheme, VTB believes. And also on the speed of updating data in the application (for example, when changing a passport) and on the awareness of Russians about the new option.

At the initial stage, the ability to present a digital ID will most likely be in demand only by the most technically advanced clients, says Katerina Yakunina, Chair of the Board of the Association of Professional Insurance Brokers (APSB). However, when Russians understand the advantages of using a digital analogue, they will begin to connect to the system more actively, says Alexey Tarapovsky, founder of Anderida Financial Group.

Nowadays, a significant proportion of the population always carries a smartphone with them, so there will definitely be demand, agrees Vladimir Ulyanov, head of the analytical center of the Zecurion company. At the first stage, it is important to check the operability and reliability of the system. In the future, the list of situations in which the application can be used will be expanded, the expert believes.
