eID Check

Electronic identity verification (eID) for KYC using schemes like BankID, MitID, itsme, iDIN, Aadhaar, and UAE Pass.

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.
