A national step towards reusable, trusted business identity
On 14 May 2026, the Malta Business Wallet was officially launched, a real milestone in Malta's digital transformation and in how businesses across the country interact with public authorities.
We built the Malta Business Wallet with the Malta Business Registry (MBR) and the Government of Malta, working alongside our delivery partners at Grant Thornton Malta. It gives businesses a secure way to manage, share and reuse trusted business information and documents. A business can store its documents once, keep them in one place, and share them with the relevant entities when needed, staying in full control of who has access and able to revoke it at any time, rather than re-sending the same files every time a new authority or institution asks.
The problem: businesses keep proving the same things
Anyone who has opened a bank account, onboarded with a regulated provider, applied for a licence, or submitted documents to a public authority knows the problem. Businesses are asked to prove the same things again and again: who owns the company, who represents it, which official documents sit behind it, and whether those documents are still valid.
Today that process is usually fragmented across emails, PDFs, manual checks and repeated uploads. Each institution asks for its own copy. Each business gathers the same documents again. Every request adds admin, waiting and room for inconsistency. That is the problem the Malta Business Wallet starts to solve.
A "once-only" approach
At its core, the Malta Business Wallet brings the "once-only" principle to business due diligence: a business verifies and uploads its documents once, then reuses them to respond to requests from authorised entities, rather than assembling the same pack of company records and identity documents each time. It is a shift away from repetitive, fragmented compliance and towards a more joined-up, efficient way of working, closely aligned with Malta's wider ambitions for digital public services and the ease of doing business.
Through the platform, a business can keep its key documents in one place, respond to document requests from authorised entities, and stay in control of what has been shared and with whom.
What the Malta Business Wallet does
The first release gives businesses and business owners the core tools to manage trusted business information in a structured way: secure login through supported government and EU identity flows; individual and company profiles; integration with official Malta Business Registry data; document upload and secure storage; identity document verification; document requests from Competent Authorities; messaging around those requests; controlled document sharing with full visibility over who has access; revocation of access where applicable; and Client Insight Reports to support due diligence.
The aim was never just to digitise document upload. The real shift is towards a reusable business profile that businesses and authorities can both rely on.
Built on trusted national and EU foundations
The Malta Business Wallet connects to government infrastructure and relies on official identity mechanisms rather than creating a separate identity system. Users can log in with Maltese eID or, for EU users, through the eIDAS framework, so the platform is accessible to Maltese residents and EU citizens alike. Its integration with the Malta Business Registry's data means companies and involvements linked to a person show up automatically, which cuts manual setup and keeps business profiles connected to official records. Throughout, access to a business's information stays consent-based and GDPR-compliant.
Why it matters for Malta
By making it possible to capture and reuse verified business data in a structured way, the platform reduces duplication in interactions between business and government. For businesses, that means less repeated admin, more control over how their information is shared, and a smoother experience when meeting compliance requirements. For public authorities, it means more consistent, better-quality data, clearer traceability and more streamlined operations.
Together, those improvements help position Malta as a modern, forward-looking jurisdiction in the European digital landscape, and make the everyday experience of doing business in Malta simpler.
A foundation to build on
This first release is the beginning of a longer journey. The immediate focus is adoption, feedback and continued development, with more functionality, deeper integrations, richer reporting and more participating entities planned through the year.
We think this matters beyond any single feature. Business identity is becoming a core part of digital infrastructure. Businesses still spend too much time proving who they are, who represents them, and which records can be trusted. The Malta Business Wallet gives Malta a foundation to keep building on as that shift continues.
Built in partnership
The Malta Business Wallet is the result of close collaboration between the Malta Business Registry, the Government of Malta, Grant Thornton Malta and Binderr, with the support of the Ministry for the Economy, Enterprise and Strategic Projects. It is a good example of what becomes possible when the public and private sectors work together to turn an ambitious idea into a product businesses can actually use from day one.
"The Malta Business Wallet is about making business identity simple and trusted. A business keeps its documents in one place, shares them with the right authorities exactly when they're needed, and stays in full control, including the ability to revoke access at any time. It's a foundation Malta can keep building on, and an early step towards a future where proving who you are as a business just works."
Matthew Zammit, Chief Product Officer, Binderr
We're proud of what the team has built, grateful to everyone involved, and looking forward to what comes next. Because for Malta, this is an important step towards a more digital, reusable and trusted way for businesses to manage their information, and a clear signal of where the country's digital public services are heading.
For Binderr, the Malta Business Wallet reflects a broader belief that trusted business identity should be simple, reusable and controlled by the business itself, and our commitment to building the infrastructure that makes that possible.
