# eID Check

### About service

This service verifies a customer using a **national or bank-led electronic identification scheme**, such as **BankID** or **MitID**. By leveraging these schemes, we can securely validate a customer’s details against the records held by the issuing scheme.

This check provides a **high level of identity assurance**.
