We recognise that financial inclusion is critical to economic wellbeing and with 85% of all global transactions currently made with cash, it is critical that the currency in people’s hands is authentic, easily available and cost effectively distributed.
From world-leading design and the integration of innovative high-security features, to safeguarding national reputations, at De La Rue, we create banknotes, banknote paper and polymer solutions that meet the individual needs of each currency and circulation environment.
The world’s population is forecast to reach 11.2 billion by 2100. Combined with the social and economic challenges brought about by increased global travel, migration and security threats, the need for every person globally to have a legal and secure identity has never been greater.
De La Rue are global specialists in citizen identity management, we deliver passports and national identity services, eGovernment and complete identity data management solutions, appropriate to specific needs and individual requirements.
The total value of counterfeit and pirated goods in 2015 was estimated to be US$1.7 trillion. The consequences of illicit trade are far reaching and damaging for society; stunting socio-economic growth, risking citizens’ health, fuelling criminal activity and damaging brand reputations. To combat illicit trade, the authenticity of products needs to be guaranteed from source to consumption.
At De La Rue, we create and deliver secure physical identifiers in the form of tax stamps and product authentication labels, as well as digital software solutions that help to protect from counterfeit and illicit trade, that help to secure revenues and safeguard reputations.
