Salmon Partners with Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) to Revolutionize Identity Verification with National ID eVerify

In an era where seamless, secure, and digital-first banking is becoming the standard, Salmon Group Ltd ("Salmon") is taking a bold step forward. The financial technology leader is partnering with the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) to integrate the National ID eVerify system into its platform — bringing faster, safer, and more accessible financial services to Filipinos nationwide.
Why This Matters
Identity verification has long been a roadblock for many Filipinos seeking financial services. Traditional methods require physical documents, in-person visits, and lengthy approval processes— barriers that can limit access, especially for those in remote areas. Through this partnership, Salmon is eliminating these obstacles by enabling businesses to authenticate customer identities remotely, instantly, and securely.
Key Benefits of National ID eVerify Integration
- Seamless Account Opening & KYC Compliance – Say goodbye to paperwork! Customers can now verify their identities digitally, making onboarding faster and hassle-free.
- Faster & More Secure Loan Processing – Borrowers can now get approved quicker, as identity verification speeds up loan applications and approvals.
- Greater Financial Inclusion – More Filipinos, including resident aliens, can now easily open accounts and access banking services — helping bridge the financial gap.
Breaking Barriers in Digital Banking
"We are committed to making identity verification more efficient and secure for our customers. Integrating PSA’s National ID eVerify removes unnecessary barriers, making financial services more accessible to everyone," said Raffy Montemayor, Co-Founder of Salmon and Chairman of the Rural Bank of Sta. Rosa (Laguna), Inc.
With this innovation, Salmon is reshaping the future of digital banking — making transactions more secure, reducing manual processes, and providing more people with access to essential financial services.
What’s Next?
This partnership marks a major milestone in financial inclusion and digital transformation in the Philippines. As more businesses adopt National ID eVerify, the banking experience will continue to evolve — faster, safer, and smarter.
