BankID eID

eID Hub

The Scrive eID Hub is an API for businesses and organizations to integrate identity verification and authentication into their systems. Signing one contract with Scrive gives you access not only to BankID but all the eIDs in the eID Hub. Rather than making a separate agreement with each eID provider you want to integrate, eID Hub gives you an easier, quicker and more efficient way to implement new eIDs in your systems as needed.

eID Hub is built with simplicity, scalability, security and integration in mind, providing a single point of access to secure transactions. This means businesses can simplify their digital identity journey for all their markets, enabling identity checks, customer onboarding, KYC compliance, secure sign-in and any other authentication needs.

Scrive provides eID coverage across the Nordics and a growing number of European countries, adding new eID solutions as they reach maturity.

NO BankID eIDHub

eSign

BankID, along with all the eIDs in the eID Hub, is also available within eSign, Scrive’s electronic signature service. eSign enables businesses to digitalise and automate their agreement signing processes. Send, sign and manage your documents on any device, wherever you and your customers and partners are. The eID options in eSign increase the security of agreements workflows by enabling you to require the parties signing your documents to identify themselves with BankID before accessing or signing them.

Note that for the moment, biometric verification is only available in eID Hub but is coming soon to eSign.
