BankID BankAxept AS provides electronic identification and payment solutions in Norway. Established on July 19, 2022, after demerging from Vipps, the company has a rich history that began in the late 1990s. BankID was first introduced to customers in 2004, and the company has since evolved to include a range of services that meet government requirements for identity verification. The primary offerings include BankID, a digital identity solution for secure online identification and signing, and BankAxept, Norway's national payment system. BankID is widely used by all Norwegian banks, the public sector, and an increasing number of private businesses. BankAxept facilitates both physical and digital transactions, featuring chip technology and PIN codes for enhanced security. The company has also expanded internationally, notably through the acquisition of the Danish eID broker Criipto.
