The German federal government plans to issue an electronic citizen card (cID) in 2009, replacing the current identity card (Personalausweis). Since the elD should be good for identification in E-government as well as E-business applications, it is aimed to be used in the banking environment. One application would be opening a bank account in the internet. If this was possible, the process would be much easier than today. However, German law still requires a physical ID card. We will discuss the opportunities and the challenges of possible usage of cID in banking. © 2009 Vieweg+Teubner | GWV Fachverlage GmbH, Wiesbaden.
