Why Use an eID Broker?

Many businesses are implementing eID systems for secure online authentication. These include MitID, Norwegian BankID, Swedish BankID, and so on.

Right from the start, companies must decide whether to integrate directly with eID providers or work with an eID broker. Here are some key points to consider when making that decision.

Criipto is an eID broker, so it's fair to say we have a bit of bias. That said, our goal here is to give you some food for thought as you weigh your options.

Easily integrate multiple eIDs

Each eID provider comes with its own systems and requirements. That’s why separately integrating with multiple providers can quickly get complicated.

An eID broker simplifies this by letting you manage several eID options from a single platform. This reduces technical complexity and cuts development time.

Access specialized support and expertise 

eID brokers bring specialized knowledge which makes troubleshooting much easier. This means less strain on your internal resources for managing authentication. 

Get industry insights and extra features 

eID brokers keep up with the latest regulations and market trends. It’s their job, after all. This means they can help you make informed decisions and stay compliant. 

Brokers may also offer additional solutions tailored to your needs, such as eID-based age verification or document signing. This makes it simple for you to quickly implement new features to address specific business use cases.

Comply with eID requirements 

Some eID systems require businesses to work through a broker to access their services. For instance, Danish MitID mandates the use of a certified broker like Criipto. In such cases, using a broker is your only option to integrate with an eID provider.

Why choose Criipto as your eID broker? 

Criipto offers seamless access to several eIDs used by millions of Europeans.

We offer a quick and cost-effective solution to integrating eIDs, backed by hands-on support from our developers.
