Finnish Trust Network
Connect Finland’s bank IDs and Mobiilivarmenne mobile ID through a single Finnish Trust Network integration to support secure identification, login, approvals, and digital signing.
The user starts with FTN
The user selects Finnish Trust Network in your service and chooses their bank or Mobiilivarmenne from the list of identity providers.
The user authenticates securely
The user signs in through their bank’s own service with their bank credentials and an app approval, key code list, or code device, or confirms with Mobiilivarmenne using their phone and a personal PIN.
G2 Risk Solutions returns the result
Through a single FTN connection, we return the verified identity to your service, including name, date of birth, and, where you have a legal basis to process it, the Finnish personal identity code.
The customer journey continues
Use the result to support onboarding, secure login, transaction approval, or digital signing.
Common Questions
Clear answers about how the Finnish Trust Network works and what teams can enable.
Does it…
Let’s talkDoes it cover all major Finnish eIDs?
Yes. FTN brings together the bank IDs of Finland’s main banks, including Nordea, OP, Danske Bank, Aktia, S-Bank, Säästöpankki, POP Bank, OmaSP, and Bank of Åland, as well as Mobiilivarmenne from mobile operators DNA, Elisa, and Telia.
Does it require separate contracts with each bank?
No. FTN was created so service providers can access multiple identity providers through one contract and one integration. G2 Risk Solutions provides that single point of access, so you do not need agreements or technical integrations with individual banks.
Does it provide strong electronic identification?
Yes. FTN eIDs meet the requirements for strong electronic identification under Finnish law, corresponding to the eIDAS Substantial assurance level. The network is supervised by the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency, Traficom.
Does it use multi-factor authentication?
Yes. Strong electronic identification in Finland must combine at least two authentication factors, such as a password or PIN together with a code list, mobile app, or SIM card. Whether a login also meets PSD2 strong customer authentication requirements depends on your use case.
Did FTN replace TUPAS?
Yes. FTN was established by law on 1 May 2017. It replaced TUPAS, the bank-run identification service that required separate contracts and integrations with each bank, which could no longer be used for strong electronic identification after 30 September 2019.
Can I…
Let’s talkCan I use FTN for customer onboarding?
Yes. FTN can provide a trusted identity step within onboarding, while your organization remains responsible for customer due diligence, regulatory compliance, and risk controls.
Can I use it for login and returning users?
Yes. Customers can authenticate with the same bank ID or Mobiilivarmenne they already use for online banking and public services.
Can users authenticate without a bank ID?
Yes. Mobiilivarmenne lets users authenticate with a mobile certificate linked to their phone’s SIM card or, with some operators, eSIM, and a self-chosen PIN, without a separate app or code list. It is available from DNA, Elisa, and Telia.
Can I use FTN for digital signing?
FTN can authenticate a user within a digital signing or approval journey, so documents and agreements can be signed without a physical meeting. The legal form and evidential value of the resulting signature depend on the signing service, implementation, and use case.
Can it support my KYC process?
Yes. FTN can strengthen identification within a KYC workflow, but it does not by itself ensure full KYC compliance.
Can it integrate with existing customer journeys?
Yes. G2 Risk Solutions supports implementation so FTN can be incorporated into onboarding, login, approval, and signing journeys through a single API integration, with results delivered by redirect, webhook, or polling.
