What is BankID Sweden?

BankID is Sweden's national electronic identity, issued by the country's banks and operated by Finansiell ID-Teknik BID AB, a joint venture owned by several Swedish banks. It is used by the large majority of Swedish adults for everyday login and digital signing across banking, government, and private services, which makes it the standard way people prove who they are online in Sweden.

Verification is tied to the person's Swedish personal identity number (personnummer). To authenticate, the person opens the BankID app on their phone or computer and confirms with a security code or device biometrics, and the scheme then confirms the identity linked to that personnummer. On a successful authentication it can return verified details such as the person's name and date of birth, so there is no document upload or selfie step.
