<p class="">Hi <br>
<br>
Yes it's that time of year again - time for a quick update. <br>
<br>
The last 6 months have been hugely exciting for us first with the development and launch of DirectID, and very recently securing of both the funding and strategic support to scale up our user acquisition strategy globally. Seeing DirectID gain such immediate traction is also exciting and while we can't talk about many of the projects already integrating, it’s the plug and play nature of the service that combines both bank verified identities, bureau data and live financial data that is proving game changing for many of these businesses. <br>

<br>
It’s still early days though and I would love your feedback on the service which you can find out more about at <a href="http://go.miicard.com/e/16602/2015-02-27/mhhpx/2935190529">www.direct.id.</a> <br>
<br>
This follows nicely our work with NSTIC in the US, alongside a number of public sector projects and as reflected in our shortlisting on the FinTech Innovators and FS Tech Awards. The level of activity across the board continues to increase and it is great to see the economy and market really starting to pick up. So many great things are happening both for us and some of the brilliant companies we work with. <br>
<br>
Trust in Digital Life is also continuing to build momentum and seeing great interest from the market especially as industry demands, consumer pains and regulatory requirements continue to increase. We are now running yearly sprints and continue to look for engagement from European companies. You can find out more about <a href="http://go.miicard.com/e/16602/2015-02-27/mhhpz/2935190529">Trust in Digital Life</a> or have a look at our <a href="http://go.miicard.com/e/16602/h1df-16602-82752-TDL-Flyer-pdf/mhhpn/2935190529">updated flyer</a>. But if you want to find out more or are interested in getting involved let me know and I'll introduce you to the team. <br>
<br>
As for things closer to home there have been some very exciting things happening as the market in general continues to build. Now more than ever we are seeing a huge demand for trust online through a consumer centric identity service. This update on the <a href="http://go.miicard.com/e/16602/-identity-stories-around-globe/mhhpq/2935190529">top 50 online identity stories</a> from late last year shows just how big the issue is. You may also be interested in our recent <a href="http://go.miicard.com/e/16602/market-update-online-lending/mhhq2/2935190529">market update</a> on online identity too.<br>
<br>
Edinburgh itself is going from strength to strength and seeing quite the increase in positive activity. This was one of the reasons I got involved in StartEDIN and I'm happy to say that things are building very nicely. We have our first Members Meetup, Alumni event in London and are even starting to advertise Edinburgh on the Heathrow Express for the month of March. More is planned but we need the support of the community get involved! Find out more from the <a href="http://go.miicard.com/e/16602/pid-fb81c6d815-ampe-687b5c3efc/mhhq4/2935190529">most recent newsletter</a>.

I'll stop there as I could go on, as you know, forever. These are hugely exciting times and with so much going on its sometimes hard to keep in touch but please do if there is something I can help with or you want to talk about. <br>
<br>
Thanks and I'm sure we will talk soon. <br>
<br>
