Integration with Trinsic

BankID Sweden is integrated into Trinsic's identity acceptance network, allowing businesses to easily accept BankID-verified identities as part of their onboarding or verification processes.

• Permission required: Yes, this method requires registration before you can activate it for your users. Please contact Trinsic to begin this process. There are restrictions related to ID switching imposed by BankID that may prevent users from using BankID for account recovery, confirming existing identity profiles, or supplementing other means of authentication.

User Flow

The Bank ID Sweden verification flow works on mobile and desktop. On desktop, users are presented a QR code which they scan in order to open the Bank ID Sweden application. On mobile, the user clicks a button which deep-links them to their Bank ID Sweden application. In both cases, the user is taken to their mobile app where they authenticate and consent to share the requested data. To see a demo of the flow, watch this video.
