BankID is its own company together with BankAxept, and is no longer a part of Vipps. That means that our app has moved to our own developer account at Apple, and moved out of the Vipps account.
With the BankID app you can identify yourself, confirm payments and sign documents.
The app meets official security requirements and can be used to:
- Log in to public services and banks
- Sign binding documents electronically
- Confirm online payments
Instead of using the one-time password from your code device or confirm with BankID on mobile, you rather approve requests directly in the app. The BankID-app is used together with your social security number and personal password.
To get started you need to have a BankID certificate issued by a bank. At the moment only people with BankID from certain banks can activate the BankID app*. Check where your BankID is issued at bankid.no/privat.
