Norwegian Bank ID Login

Norway

Norwegian BankID is a bank-issued electronic identity used across Norway for online banking, public services, and commercial logins. It is issued by Norwegian banks to their customers and supported sector-wide, so a person can use the same credential across different institutions. The scheme is operated by BankID BankAxept AS, which is being renamed Stø and is expected to take over issuance from around April 2026, and it is notified under the EU eIDAS framework at the High level of assurance.

What is Norwegian Bank ID Login?

Norwegian BankID is a bank-issued electronic identity used across Norway for online banking, public services, and commercial logins. It is issued by Norwegian banks to their customers and supported sector-wide, so a person can use the same credential across different institutions. The scheme is operated by BankID BankAxept AS, which is being renamed Stø and is expected to take over issuance from around April 2026, and it is notified under the EU eIDAS framework at the High level of assurance.

The person authenticates with their BankID credential, either the BankID mobile app or a code device linked to their bank. Full name and date of birth are always returned on a successful authentication. The national identity number (fødselsnummer) and further details such as address, email, and phone number are released only with the person's explicit consent, in line with Norwegian law.

BankID is not a compulsory scheme, but it is held by most Norwegian adults and is the standard way to log in to banks, the tax administration, and welfare services. That makes it a familiar, high-trust route for onboarding Norwegian customers.
