You've built your own Swedish BankID integration. It works well. Now you're expanding.
Every country has its own electronic identity (eID) scheme and its own requirements for how companies can access it. Here's what to do when you expand.
Which eIDs do you need in Norway, Denmark, and Finland?
In Sweden, it's possible to integrate BankID directly, without going through a third-party provider. That option doesn't exist in the other Nordic countries. Each one requires you to go through an approved provider.
Norway uses Norwegian BankID, with over 4.5 million users. To access it, you need an approved identity provider.
Denmark uses MitID. To access it, companies must go through a certified MitID broker. There is no way around this requirement.
Finland uses the Finnish Trust Network (FTN), which brings together bank-issued IDs and mobile authentication. As with MitID, direct access isn't possible. You need a certified FTN broker.
One eID worth knowing about across all markets is Freja eID. It works in 167 countries, including Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland, and can be integrated directly through Freja. For Swedish companies, it also works well as a complement to BankID, for example as a fallback or for users without BankID.
Access all Nordic eIDs through one integration
Through one integration, Idura gives you access to all Nordic eIDs.
If you've integrated Swedish BankID yourself and now need providers for the other Nordic countries too, it makes sense to gather everything in one place. One vendor, one integration, one contract.
Experienced development teams are typically up and running in a matter of hours. We handle the application process and ongoing maintenance so your team doesn't have to. Test our integration for free, for as long as you like.
"Integrating eIDs across borders with Idura is straight-forward. Through the same platform, we can easily provide eIDs to our customers in Sweden, Denmark and Norway."
- Jonas Landgård, CTO, haus
From the Nordics to the rest of Europe
The same integration that covers the Nordic countries also gives you access to eIDs in Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and more, with new markets added continuously.
For companies with European ambitions, this means you don't need to rebuild when you go beyond the Nordics.
