Providers and portals accept Unipass

Up to 11 providers and portals now accept Unipass following the decision by Friends Provident and Clerical Medical to go live with the system on their UK extranets, replacing the need for individual passwords and user names. Unipass, which was launched by Origo, the technology standards body for the financial services industry, is fast becoming the industry standard method for entering portals and providers' extranets. There are currently just under 5,000 financial advisers using the system.
