TORONTO, Canada, February 8, 2021 – SecureKey Technologies (“SecureKey”), a leading provider of identity and authentication solutions, today proudly announces that Coast Capital Savings (“Coast Capital”), one of Canada’s largest member-owned credit unions in B.C., and the province’s first federal credit union, has become a Trusted Sign-In Partner with Government Sign-In by Verified.Me™.
Formerly known as SecureKey Concierge®, Government Sign-In by Verified.Me is a secure, private and convenient way for consumers to sign into hundreds of online government services using the financial institution credentials they already have and trust.

Government Sign-In by Verified.Me allow users to leverage their existing online banking credentials from a Trusted Sign-In Partner to access government services, rather than creating a new username and password.
