The new BankID App with biometrics

A smoother user experience

Norwegian BankID is the primary eID in Norway used for both authentication and digital signatures, either through a dedicated hardware token or through the mobile BankID app. Almost all adult Norwegians use BankID. The new Norwegian BankID App leverages biometrics authentication to provide a much smoother and faster user experience.

Integrate the BankID App with Criipto

Criipto supports the integration of the new BankID App, and switching from the old BankID is seamless with no or minor changes to your application.
