About us
We are a software house with a team of passionate experts that are specialised in developing software for EU Regulation no. 910/2014, also called eIDAS 2. We were incubated at neosfer, the innovation unit of Commerzbank AG. We are based in Frankfurt am Main in Germany and have been working on the topic of identity with ID-Wallets and verifiable credentials since 2018.
The co-founders developed the company over the past 4 years and have successfully designed the spin out from Commerzbank. They bring in a vast network and unparalleled thought leadership on digital identity wallets.
Lissi is funded by neosfer, the early-stage investor and innovation unit of Commerzbank Group, in which Lissi was incubated for four years. Neosfer continues to leverage its innovation know-how to bring Lissi into the mainstream.
Lissi is funded by Ninepointfive ventures, a Belgium based independent European venture capital fund to support the accelerated and sustainable long term growth and strategic market positioning.
Trustworthy customer relationships require trusted identities.
With this vision, we develop software tools that are used for secure interactions between organisations and their customers throughout the entire customer lifecycle. Our software solutions are built on global, open standards such as Verifiable Credentials and OpenID.
Our history
Lissi was founded by neosfer GmbH and Commerzbank AG. Over the years, we conducted fundamental research, developed intuitive applications, and engaged all relevant stakeholders. The picture shows our first hackathon in 2019, leading to the formation of the IDunion research consortium.
Innovation leadership
The Lissi ID-Wallet was the first to implement the OpenID4VC standards, a protocol set to be used by every European Digital Identity Wallet. By sharing our implementation feedback, we help organizations like the OpenID Foundation and W3C improve these standards.
Leading IDunion
Since 2020, we've been funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action through the "IDunion" research project. As consortium leader, Lissi collaborates with companies like Bundesdruckerei and Deutsche Bank on use case integrations.
Our Awards
In 2020, first place in the “Digital Banking “Category
In 2023 we won the European Identity and Cloud award “Decentralized ID in practise” together with DATEV e.G.
“Overall, the Lissi wallet emerges as the winner among the four wallets”

Frequently Asked Questions
Lissi is a startup and software provider with the aim to enable trusted interactions between organisations and their customers ID-wallets. We are part of an European ecosystem, which uses open standards and protocols to enable trusted interactions with legal certainty and regulatory conformity. We generate income by selling software licences to organisations to interact with ID-Wallets and offer the Lissi ID-Wallet for free to end-users.
Both Lissi and IDunion are fundamentally engaged in the realm of digital identity and are fostered by the Ministry of Economics and Climate Actions of Germany, aligning their efforts towards the advancement of digital identity solutions in line with the eIDAS 2.0 framework. Their collaboration exemplifies a concerted effort towards similar goals, wherein they share many intersecting objectives.
At Lissi we take the helm in leading the IDunion research consortia, showcasing a proactive involvement in exploring and advancing the research frontiers of digital identity. This leadership role underscores our commitment and active engagement in orchestrating research initiatives that are pivotal to the evolution of digital identity solutions.
On the other hand, IDunion is itself a research consortium that has furthered its cause by initiating the IDunion SCE, a European cooperative envisioned to serve as a non-profit governance entity. This initiative by IDunion symbolises a structured approach towards establishing a governance framework that is quintessential for the broader acceptance and trust in digital identity solutions across Europe.
Contrary to the cooperative and research-oriented nature of IDunion, Lissi is a private entity that is focussing on the development of software solutions for organisations. These software solutions are tailored to facilitate interactions with ID-Wallets, providing a technical infrastructure that enables organisations to seamlessly integrate and interact with digital identity wallets.
