IDM phone iAM2

55% of Hong Kong residents are using iAM Smart.

“iAM Smart” is the HKSAR Government’s one-stop digital identity platform for HKID holders, enabling secure authentication, automatic form-filling (“e‑ME”), and, with “iAM Smart+”, legally recognised digital signing.

Residents use a mobile app with biometric authentication to log in to government and commercial services using a single digital identity instead of multiple usernames and passwords.

What is Tradelink "iAM Smart Connect"?

“iAM Smart Connect” is a business solution that enables companies to integrate Hong Kong’s iAM Smart digital ID into their online services for secure login, digital onboarding, and digital signing.

“iAM Smart Connect” provides APIs and integration tools that allow businesses to integrate “iAM Smart” into their websites and apps for customer login, account opening, and online applications.

It supports three main capabilities: secure authentication, “e‑ME” data transfer for automatic form-filling, and digital signing backed by legal recognition under Hong Kong’s Electronic Transactions Ordinance.
