In 2015, GDS’s intention was to fund Verify through income generated by charging departments for using the system. The aim was to charge £1.20 per year, per user. GDS estimated that by 2018, this would generate £19m per year, but due to the low take-up of the system, only £1.3m was brought in during 2017-18. The average price GDS pays to private sector identity providers for each new user is £20.
