How do I migrate an existing user database to BankID?

Typically you will want the migration from an existing user database to BankID to be as seamless as possible for your users. Basically you have two options, namely either matching on social security number if you have that already. Or you will have to ask your users to do some sort of double authentication to combine the old login with the new BankID login.

How can BankID improve my login and onboarding process?

Implementing BankID authentication into your login or onboarding experience can benefit your business in several different ways. With BankID’s QR code and its widespread usage among the Swedish population, you can enhance security, user experience, and trust in your business.
