BankID has chosen OneSpan as a strategic partner to help secure Norway’s digital identity
OneSpan, the global leader in digital banking transaction security and e-signatures, announced that BankID has implemented cloud authentication and anti-fraud solutions from OneSpan to improve the customer experience and help secure one of the most widely used applications in Norway.
“OneSpan’s digital identity and anti-fraud solutions enable financial services providers to deliver secure and trusted experiences while minimizing friction, mitigating fraud, and reducing operational costs.”
BankID is a personal electronic ID in a mobile app backed by both Norway’s government and all Norwegian banks, used to secure citizen identities and complete transactions online. Norwegian adults use the BankID app to safely access banking apps and to view and sign transactions, including taxes and legally binding documents, for public digital services and enterprises in a wide range of sectors.
Recently, BankID modernized its mobile app by integrating with OneSpan’s Mobile Security Suite along with Application Shielding and Cloud Authentication. These solutions authenticate users, protect the app against an increasing number of mobile threats and fraudulent activity, and improve the experience for the country’s citizens. Through its cloud solutions, OneSpan provides BankID with a flexible environment while helping the bank improve security and increase scalability.
