Summary

BankID is Norway’s bank-issued electronic ID system, operated by Stø AS and widely used by an estimated 4.7 million people across roughly 16,000 services for logins, identity verification, and electronic signatures. Private businesses access it through Stø resellers, while public bodies use the government-operated ID-porten service; integrations generally use OpenID Connect and can return signed name and date-of-birth data, with additional information such as identity numbers, contact details, and AML data subject to specific scopes, consent, or prior knowledge requirements. BankID is notified under eIDAS at the High assurance level and is listed by Norwegian regulator Nkom as high-level eID, meaning BankID High, which uses a code and password, is presented as suitable for remote AML identity checks under Norwegian rules, whereas biometric BankID may require a step-up to the higher method. The text notes practical limitations including lower coverage among minors, access barriers for some foreigners and non-residents, phishing and credential-sharing risks, and the need for document-based verification fallbacks. It also describes an ongoing 2026 Nkom review concerning historical code-device issuance practices, although no final decision had been published by the stated review date, and highlights that businesses must obtain commercial terms, permitted scopes, and implementation details from their chosen reseller.
