Strong electronic identification

Strong electronic identification is used by hundreds of companies in the private sector (such as electricity and insurance companies and financial institutions) and in online public services. The number of users is growing steadily. Most public services, such as the services of the Tax Administration, Kela and the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment of Finland, use strong electronic identification through the Suomi.fi web service. An example of a successful online public service is tyoelake.fi where people can check their pension record with their online banking codes. The strong electronic identification services offered by banks were used more than 150 million times in Finland in 2019.

In many online services, several forms and applications have been converted into electronic format. For example, on the websites of various cities, people can sign applications for day-care centres, rental flats and social assistance reliably with the strong identification means provided by banks. Various municipal institutions and companies can also use a strong identification service on their websites.
