BankID

Nordics

BankID is the name of the widely held electronic ID used across the Nordic region for secure login and digital signing. It exists as separate national schemes, most notably Swedish BankID, issued by banks in Sweden, and BankID in Norway, issued by Norwegian banks. Each is the primary way people in that country prove who they are for banking, government, and other online services, and each is held by a large majority of the adult population.

What is BankID?

BankID is the name of the widely held electronic ID used across the Nordic region for secure login and digital signing. It exists as separate national schemes, most notably Swedish BankID, issued by banks in Sweden, and BankID in Norway, issued by Norwegian banks. Each is the primary way people in that country prove who they are for banking, government, and other online services, and each is held by a large majority of the adult population.

Verification is based on the person's national identifier together with a personal credential such as a PIN and a one-time code from the BankID app. When someone authenticates, the scheme confirms the identity linked to that identifier and can return verified details such as the person's name and date of birth. The customer proves who they are directly with their existing BankID credentials, so there is no document upload or selfie step. For scheme-specific detail, see the dedicated BankID Sweden and BankID Norway listings.

Frequently asked questions

How do I verify a BankID identity?

The person authenticates with their national BankID using their national identifier and a personal credential, such as a PIN and a one-time code from the BankID app. The scheme confirms the identity linked to that identifier and returns verified details such as name and date of birth to your service.

What data does BankID return?

On a successful authentication the scheme can return the person's verified name and date of birth, along with confirmation of their national identifier. There is no document upload or selfie step, because the person proves identity with their existing BankID credentials.

Is BankID mandatory?

BankID is the most common way people log in and sign digitally in Sweden and Norway, and it is held by a large majority of adults, but it is not compulsory to use it for every private-sector transaction.
