Smart ID and passport services to be offered on banking apps

Smart ID and passport applications coming to South African banking apps

South Africa's Minister of Home Affairs, Leon Schreiber, has announced the conclusion of an agreement he says will enable banks to offer smart ID and passport services through their banking apps.

The agreement is between Schreiber's department, the Border Management Agency (BMA), Government Printing Works (GPW), and the South African Revenue Service.

Yet another fundamental state function privatised so the freeloading entitled hordes can do f***l while expecting ever-increasing taxes to be handed over.
One can only wonder how well those integrations are going to be built on the SARS and Home Affairs side, since you can forget about those contracts being handed over to people with an interest in quality and scalability.

Lekker man.
Let's cheer for this one too, they're about to eat some more.

Would be great to go to my banking app and apply/pay and get my ID card, instead of driving to a bank branch 30km away.

It would be awesome, if this is not another project headed for failure.

When it’s delivered around 2047, we can test it.
