Here’s a quick look at what we built in the past month, what’s moving forward on the roadmap, and where the team has been active across the ecosystem.
Product progress, partnerships, and the people behind it: all in one place.
1. Product Update: May 2026
In May, our product focus was on EUDI Wallet readiness, specifically giving customers early access to the German and French wallet sandbox environments.

With these sandboxes available through eID Easy, relying parties can start testing how wallet-based identity journeys will work in practice, from verifying identity credentials to receiving trusted user attributes. This helps teams understand the user experience, technical flow, and compliance steps before production wallets become widely available.
For businesses, the value is straightforward: lower-friction onboarding, high-assurance identity checks, and earlier preparation for EUDI Wallet adoption.
Full production access, once available, will involve additional compliance steps, including registration as a relying party in the relevant country.

2. Coming Up Next: What the Product Team is Working On
Here’s what we’re focusing on next, both in the short term and as part of our broader roadmap.
Near-Term Priorities
We'll continue the same EUDI Wallet work with two more sandbox environments: Denmark’s AltID and Switzerland’s Swiyu wallet.
This means customers will soon be able to test even more wallet-based identity journeys through eID Easy, including how users share verified identity credentials and trusted attributes in online flows.
For relying parties, this is a practical way to start preparing early, before production wallets become widely available. You can test the UX, understand what data can be shared, and plan the compliance steps needed for future production access.

2026 Roadmap Highlights
- Digital Identity Wallet (DIW) integrations, with business-ready flows and APIs
- Expanded eID coverage across Europe (Poland, Italy, Spain, Germany, and more)
- Uptime and performance improvements across high-demand methods
- Enhanced analytics and reporting for better operational and client insights
3. Customer Story of the Month
Abillio – Faster, Safer Freelancer Onboarding
This month, we’re highlighting Abillio, a platform helping freelancers manage their work, payments, and business admin.
As Abillio scaled across countries, identity verification became harder to manage manually. Onboarding needed to stay fast for freelancers, while still being secure, compliant, and reliable across markets.
By integrating eID Easy, Abillio can verify freelancers using trusted identity methods like Smart-ID, giving users a familiar and quick way to prove who they are.
→ eID Easy handles the identity verification layer, while Abillio can stay focused on growing the platform.
The impact in numbers:
- 5–10 minutes saved per freelancer during onboarding
- 17,000 freelancers on the platform
- Around 50% of freelancers use eID Easy during signup
- Martins Vilums, Co-founder and CMO at Abillio.
4. Provider Story of the Month
L’Identité Numérique La Poste, Trusted eID in France
This month, we’re highlighting L’Identité Numérique La Poste, part of the Docaposte / La Poste Groupe ecosystem, and one of the most widely adopted digital identity services in France.
With nearly 9 million users, it gives people a secure way to prove their identity online and access everyday digital services through FranceConnect and FranceConnect+. The service is available via mobile app and supports authentication for public services as well as private-sector journeys, such as banking, e-commerce, onboarding, and regulated account access.
Compliance
The French eID scheme “FranceConnect+ / The Digital Identity La Poste” is notified under eIDAS at Substantial level of assurance. L'Identité Numérique La Poste is certified by ANSSI as meeting eIDAS Substantial requirements, equivalent to a face-to-face identity check in digital form.
From a business use case perspective
It’s a strong eID and authentication solution that businesses can use to verify French users remotely, reduce fraud risk, simplify onboarding, and support strong customer authentication in regulated journeys.
Where it fits best
It’s especially relevant for financial services, public-sector access, healthcare, e-commerce, telecom, and other regulated platforms that need a trusted identity without adding unnecessary friction.
Docaposte highlights use cases such as
- remote customer onboarding,
- secure account access,
- KYC,
- healthcare identification;
- and access to more than 1,800 public services via FranceConnect and FranceConnect+.
For end users
To use L’Identité Numérique La Poste with FranceConnect+, users generally need to be over 18, have a French identity document or a qualifying residence permit, and have a smartphone.
eID Easy API
With L’Identité Numérique La Poste available through eID Easy, businesses serving the French market can add a trusted, widely adopted eID method through a single API, without building a separate integration.
5. Around the Company: Events, Updates & More
May was a busy month for the eID Easy team, with events across Riga, Bogotá, Tallinn, and Kyiv.
🇱🇻 Baltic Fintech Days, Riga (May 12–13)
Our Baltic team attended Baltic Fintech Days in Riga, and we also hosted an official side event at Startup House Riga 2.0 together with our client Abillio.
It was a great chance to connect with the fintech community, talk about onboarding and digital identity, and continue the conversations we’re already having with teams building across the region.
🇨🇴 CSC Trust Without Borders Summit, Bogotá (May 13–14)
John Jolliffe, our Provider Relations Manager, joined the Cloud Signature Consortium “Trust Without Borders” Summit in Bogotá, where he took part in a panel on digital identity wallets.
As John put it:
“The CSC has undeniable global momentum and has become one of the main places for conversations about digital trust, bringing together technical experts, regulators, and academics from across the world.”
One key theme from the summit was that trust remains fragmented across regulatory, technical, legal, and commercial lines. While European standards create useful structure, they don’t always translate neatly to other regions.
For eID Easy, that makes the need for aggregation even clearer, helping bridge different identity and trust systems across borders.
🇪🇪 Latitude59, Tallinn (May 20–22)
At Latitude59, our Tallinn team hosted a panel titled:
Who Can You Trust? Digital Identity, EUDI Wallets, KYC & AML, and AI-Era Fraud
The discussion brought together speakers from Revolut, Sumsub, Salv, and Hauer Fintech Advisory GmbH (ex-N26), with Joao Rei from eID Easy moderating.
One takeaway stood out:
“Maybe some friction is actually good.”
The panel explored the tricky balance between smooth onboarding and enough checks to keep fraud out. With reusable identity, EUDI Wallets, synthetic identities, AI-driven fraud, and shifting KYC/AML expectations, that balance is only getting harder, and more important.
🇺🇦 eID Easy Meetup #12, Kyiv (May 28)
We also hosted our 12th eID Easy community meetup, this time in Kyiv, led by our CEO Maoiliosa O'Culachain.
As always, the meetup kept the same format: informal, practical, and open to people working in or around digital identity, trust services, and electronic signatures.
→ Riga and Tallinn brought together more than 100 people each, thank you to everyone who joined, asked questions, shared thoughts, or just came by for a chat. More meetups are coming!
Coming up
After May, we’re keeping June light and giving ourselves a small breather, but not disappearing completely.
Here’s where you can find us next:
🇪🇸 South Summit, Madrid (June 3–5)
Joao will be at South Summit in Madrid. If you’re also there, send him a message, he’ll be happy to find time between the agenda to meet friends, partners, and new faces.
🇳🇱 Identity Week Europe, Amsterdam (June 9–10)
We'll be attending Identity Week Europe in Amsterdam, one of the key events for digital identity, credentials, and trust infrastructure. If you’re there and want to talk wallets, eID, or provider partnerships, feel free to reach out to John.
🇨🇭 Swiss Fintech Week (June 22–25)
We’re keeping the fintech conversations going in Switzerland. The team will be around during Swiss Fintech Week, and we’re also planning a community meetup while we’re there. More details and RSVP coming soon.
6. Under the Hood: Team Spotlight
Mats-Joonas Kulla, “MJ”, Co-founder & CTO
This month, we’re spotlighting Mats-Joonas Kulla (or MJ as we call him), our co-founder and Chief Technology Officer.
Before eID Easy, MJ was on a very different path: training to become a commercial pilot. He briefly worked at Estonian Air Regional, but soon realised that what excited him most was building things: products, businesses, systems, technical solutions, and teams.
After that, he started an e-commerce software development business, later sold it, and eventually joined eID Easy to work on a problem with even bigger potential impact.
Why eID Easy?
MJ has always been interested in how trust works online.
“How can you trust a claim or a written promise made by someone you have never seen or met? How can you know someone online really is who they claim to be?”
For him, the problem was clear: many strong technical solutions already existed, but they were difficult to use and required deep technical knowledge.
He puts it simply:
“If someone solves the problem of attaching two pieces of wood by inventing a nail, that is only half of the solution. Without an easy-to-use hammer, nails are still complex and cumbersome to use.”
For MJ, eID Easy became that hammer, a tool that makes digital trust easier to use and integrate.
What are you most proud of?
MJ is especially proud of the team and how it has grown.
“I’m most proud of how much the team has grown: how they approach challenges, the mindset they bring, and how that makes it genuinely fun to be part of eID Easy.”
He also sees eID Easy as being in the middle of an important shift in the identity space, as adoption speeds up not only in Europe, but globally.
What does eID Easy make easier?
For MJ, the value is in bridging the gap between complex trust infrastructure and real business needs.
“We help make powerful technology practical, understandable, and usable in real-world workflows.”
In other words, making trust a base feature of business systems, not an expensive afterthought.

Outside of work?
Outside of work, MJ enjoys creative projects with friends, making music, board games, slow poker nights, reading, and photography, especially taking photos of people.
His ideal work environment? Complete silence.
No music, no background noise, no distractions. Just space to think.
A very CTO answer, honestly :)
We’re glad to have MJ’s clarity, curiosity, and builder mindset at the heart of eID Easy’s technology!
7. Resources & Useful Links: EU Digital Identity Wallets – Latest Status (May 20, 2026)
We updated our EUDI Wallet status tracker, covering EU Member States, candidate countries, and neighbouring markets.
This tracker focuses on what matters for relying parties: whether wallets are testable, whether public sandboxes exist, and whether developer materials are available.
Since our last update, the biggest movement comes from Switzerland and Moldova, both moving into the top category. Switzerland now has its swiyu public beta, while Moldova continues to stand out among candidate countries.
