Norwegian BankID

Norwegian BankID (as well as Norwegian BankID on Mobile) is an electronic identity scheme in Norway that can be used for digital onboarding (Assure), authentication (Connect) and electronic signing (Sign) of documents. BankID is based on a coordinated infrastructure that is developed by the banks through the Norwegian BankID Cooperation, under the direction of the “Finansnæringens Hovedorganisasjon” and “Sparebankforeningen”.

Integration information

Digital onboarding

Norwegian BankID can be used for digital onboarding of a user, through user identification. The ID method can be used as a stand-alone method or in combination with other services provided by Signicat to assure an identity, like identity paper verification, information services, and video assurance.

Use case

To be able to apply for a loan in Norwegian banks you first have to register and become a customer of a bank. During this digital onboarding process, you can choose to use Norwegian BankID, among others, as an ID method to register as a user for the first time.

Authentication

When the user has completed the digital onboarding process, as mentioned above, Norwegian BankID can be used for authentication to connect by verifying an existing user’s identity. Getting started guides for authentication with the different authentication protocols can be found here.

The authentication will result in a type of response that will depend on the type of authentication protocol used.

Use case

As a registered customer in a bank, you will be able to apply for a loan. To be able to log in to your bank you have to authenticate to prove your identity. Norwegian BankID can be used for authentication, in the same way as it can be used for registering as a new customer.
