The European regulatory landscape around digital identities is at a pivotal moment: with eIDAS 2, AMLR, PSD3/PSR and the imminent rollout of the EUDI Wallet, financial institutions face simultaneous requirements that will fundamentally transform their onboarding processes, KYC workflows and authentication infrastructure. This webinar, hosted by Namirial on 17 June 2026, provides compliance and technology professionals in the financial sector with a practical overview of the current regulatory landscape and the concrete options available to them.
The session was moderated by Jörg Lenz, Director of Marketing & Communication at Namirial, who has been following the development of the eIDAS framework since its inception. Stefan Weninger, Enterprise Account Executive at Namirial, explored the technical and strategic dimensions of the changes ahead.
Context
From mid-2027, the AMLR will introduce new rules for online identity verification. By the end of 2027, acceptance of the EUDI Wallet for digital onboarding in the financial sector will become mandatory. At the same time, the AMLR establishes eIDAS as the reference framework for customer due diligence, fundamentally reshaping the choice of identification methods. The interplay between eIDAS 2, AMLR, PSD3/PSR and ViDA creates a complex regulatory environment, requiring financial institutions to align short-term compliance obligations with long-term architectural decisions. Those who do not actively monitor the critical timelines through to 2027/2028 risk finding themselves under pressure.
