BankID

Integrate Sweden’s most widely used electronic identity solution to support secure identification, customer onboarding, and digital signing for more than 8.7 million users.

The user starts with BankID

The user selects BankID in your digital service to identify themselves or sign an action.

The user authenticates securely

The user confirms with their security code or an enabled biometric method. When BankID is used on another device, an animated QR code helps bind the request to the device displaying it.

BankID confirms the identity

BankID performs real-time checks and returns a confirmation so your service can continue the customer journey with greater confidence.

The journey continues securely

Use the result for onboarding, secure login, payment flows, or digital signing within your product experience.
