For developers

Integrate BankID in hours, not days

If you have already integrated BankID through Criipto, it’s simply a matter of changing a single configuration value, after your agreement has been amended. For new Criipto customers, we offer a wide range of guides and tutorials to get you started.

See documentation

import React from "react";
import { useCriiptoVerify } from "@criipto/verify-react";

const LoginButton = () => {
  const { loginWithRedirect } = useCriiptoVerify();
  const login = () => {
    loginWithRedirect({
      acrValues: 'urn:grn:authn:no:bankid:substantial'
    });
  };

  return (
    <button onClick={login}>
      Log in
    </button>
  );
}

export default LoginButton;

Same quality of information as BankID High

BankID Substantial offers the same user information as BankID High and you will still be able to get access to user social numbers, addresses and more.

Faster authentication with biometrics

Experience a secure, fast, and user-friendly login process with biometric authentication. Users of the BankID app log in with fingerprint or facial recognition, which reduces the time for authentication to under 10 seconds while being completely frictionless.

BankID High vs BankID with biometrics (Substantial)

The assurance level "BankID with biometrics" (Substantial) will be offered by default with the BankID app and will cover almost all cases of verification. Companies that need assurance level "High" will need to upgrade to it. When "High" is required, the BankID app will automatically prompt the user for a password, making the process seamless.
