Swedish BankID

Swedish BankID is a personal and easy method of secure electronic identification and signing on the Internet.

Individuals who have a Swedish personnummer (Swedish national identification number) can obtain Swedish BankID through their bank. A BankID has the same value and is used the same way, regardless of the bank that issued it. BankID may be issued to persons over 18 years, but several banks also give BankID to persons under 18 years.

Swedish BankID clients exist for desktop (Windows or macOS) and mobile devices (Mobile BankID on Android or iOS).

BankID can also be used as a digital ID card, letting users prove their identity in everyday situations such as collecting parcels or visiting pharmacies. The digital ID card is available directly in the BankID app and complements traditional ID documents.

Signicat’s Authentication Risk Indicator delivers a risk indication for each Swedish BankID login.
