In a landmark move towards digital modernization, Trinidad and Tobago has unveiled NOBIS, a national electronic Know Your Customer (eKYC) platform. The initiative, a collaborative effort between the Unit Trust Corporation (UTC), the National Payment and Innovation Company of TT (NPIC-TT), and the Telecommunications Services of TT (TSTT), was formalized through a recent agreement signing ceremony. The platform, developed locally by NPIC-TT’s Innovative Centre, aims to revolutionize identity verification and account onboarding processes by replacing traditional manual methods with a secure, efficient, and paperless system. UTC will be the first entity to implement NOBIS for digital onboarding, reflecting its commitment to customer convenience and trust. TSTT will provide the necessary telecommunications and cloud infrastructure to ensure a seamless national rollout. Dawn Nelson, Vice President of the Innovative Centre, emphasized the system’s scalability and security, underscoring its local development as a testament to Trinidad and Tobago’s technological capabilities. Beyond financial services, NOBIS will be extended free of charge to government ministries and state agencies, enabling a unified digital identity for services such as passport renewals, driver’s license updates, and government fee payments. This initiative positions Trinidad and Tobago as a regional leader in secure and inclusive digital services, setting the stage for a fully digital future.
