Yes you do need for several good reasons Let me name you a few:

- The digital ID helps us to perform KYC/AML checks (Know your customer / Anti-money laundering laws)
- Due to known identity and token batch, we recognize theft or hacking of tokens and can void them. The legitimate owner of the tokens gets the tokens back or new ones
- The digital ID replaces username and password and enables you access on n’cloud.swiss, n’STORE or n’WORLD
- The NCU tokens are in a closed circuit. That gives the token holders a much higher security

All in all, KYC process make possible high standards in terms of security. Again an important feature of our "Swiss made" DNA.
