Trust, Verified: Why Nestopia Is Partnering with ID Crypt Global
A new standard for digital identity in the rental market
Renting a flat shouldn’t feel like applying for a mortgage and yet, tenants are still asked to submit the same ID documents over and over, only to be left wondering where their data ends up.
At Nestopia, we believe trust should come first, and identity should be owned, not copied.
That’s why we’re thrilled to announce our new partnership with ID Crypt Global (IDC), pioneers in decentralised digital identity and verifiable credentials.
Together, we’re embedding trust, privacy, and security directly into the rental experience.
Total confidence. Total security. Your identity. Our promise.
With ID Crypt’s privacy-preserving digital identity technology, Nestopia users can now verify their identity once and reuse it across their rental journey. That means:
Instant, secure onboarding for tenants, landlords, and agents
Zero unnecessary data storage
Seamless trust from the start
Using decentralised identifiers (DIDs) and verifiable credentials, this integration gives users full control over what they share—and with whom. No repetition. No friction. Just one verified profile, everywhere it matters.
This isn’t just a feature. It’s a shift in how digital renting works.
Nestopia and IDC share a common goal: to rebuild the rental journey with trust baked in. That means replacing insecure, repetitive forms with reusable, privacy-led credentials, and ensuring that every actor in the process, from student to landlord, starts from a place of credibility.
As Chay Bainbridge, CCO of ID Crypt Global, put it:
“By integrating verifiable credentials and decentralised identifiers, Nestopia is setting a new standard for customer protection and onboarding efficiency in the proptech space.”
Why this matters now
Rental fraud is rising. Regulation is tightening. And the people renting today - Gen Z, millennials, and digital-first consumers expect more.
This partnership delivers:
✔️ Trusted ID Verification – Instant screening that landlords can trust
✔️ Tenant Empowerment – Data stays with the user; no unnecessary storage or resale
✔️ Risk Reduction – Less fraud, fewer admin errors, and easier compliance
As Kris Ericsson, Co-Founder of Nestopia, said:
“By integrating IDC’s industry-leading ID verification, we’re laying the groundwork for a trusted, tenant-owned digital identity that can be reused across the entire rental journey.”
And in the words of Matthew Smith, our Co-Founder:
“Our customers now have unrivalled identity verification status, and can showcase themselves with a comprehensive tenant profile that landlords can rely on.”
Where we go from here
Nestopia is scaling fast, with users, with partners, and with purpose. This partnership with IDC enhances our core offering and helps us deliver what the industry needs most: a better, smarter, safer rental experience for everyone.
We’re proud to stand alongside IDC as co-leaders in this new wave of property innovation, where identity is private, data is protected, and trust is verified.
Security and peace of mind is at the heart of what we are all about.
