Keith is excited for his upcoming
vacation
Keith’s airline, hotel, and other travel service providers use UWI to gather his preferences. His flight ticket is then issued as a credential. Keith’s itinerary, preferences and more are shared with his consent, enabling a holistic view of who he is and what he cares about.
With a better understanding of Keith, his trip details and needs, businesses can now craft hyper-personalized experiences, anticipating Keith’s needs and desires. Keith has a ride waiting for him when he exits the airport, is upgraded to a room with a view, and is sent an offer for a history-filled city tour.
Leveraging the UWI, the airline and its partners can transform a simple transaction into an enduring relationship; demonstrating the power of hyper-personalization to orchestrate exceptional experiences that foster loyalty and drive repeat business within the ecosystem.

Sarah’s vehicle requires service
Sarah just bought a new car and linked its connected data service to her wallet, receiving real-time vehicle health updates through a credential issued by the manufacturer.
Her auto insurance company offers her a discount on her premium if she shares her vehicle data with them. They also provide helpful reminders for preventative maintenance.
To attract new customers, a large chain of Service Repair Shops partners with the insurer to offer a 15% discount to policy holders. This means the insurance company can proactively engage Sarah with a pre-funded, tokenized voucher from the Repair Shop. Sarah can use the voucher to claim her service, easily redeeming it at a nearby location.

Balancing Risk & Compliance
Cost
The cost of compliance is rising due to ever tightening data privacy regulations. The current practice of harvesting customer data through 3rd party sources and data collection is now unsustainable.
Enhancing customer trust through privacy-preserving technologies helps businesses navigate the management of Personally Identifiable Information (PII), especially in a decentralized model, reducing risk exposure and cost-to-comply.

Alex is opening a bank account
The bank uses UWI to streamline their onboarding process, turning what was once days-long into a near-instant approval. Alex already has a Universal Wallet – along with credentials for her driver’s license, credit history, proof of employment and more – so the application is as simple as a couple of taps.
Alex opens the application, connects her wallet, consents to share her credentials and is approved on the spot. As a result of the successful approval, the bank issues Alex an account credential. With this credential, they can foster a more meaningful and rewarding relationship with Alex by better understanding her assets, context and needs. Her experience is further improved with features like password-less login and secure transaction approval.

Credentials issued through UWI eliminate the need for repetitive data entry and ensures the information is accurate as it is issued by trusted parties.
This enhances the customer experience and significantly reduces operational costs for institutions, minimizing the resources required for data management and verification.
