Yes, EU citizens should be able to use their EU Digital Identity Wallets for accessing digital services all across the Internet, including certain private services. As such, they improve the effectiveness and extend the benefits of secure and convenient digital identity to the private sector. Providers of some private services must accept the wallets at the request of the wallet user, notably where strong user authentication is required. This is for instance the case for making payments, for opening bank accounts and for other use cases such as in the areas of transport, energy, insurance, drinking water, postal services, digital infrastructure, education or telecommunications. A requirement to recognise the EU Digital Identity Wallets for authentication also applies to Very Large Online Platforms.
