E-identification - strong electronic identification

E-identification is a service that enables you to access online services that require strong electronic identification. These can be public online services provided by Kela and the Tax Administration, for example, and other third-party services. 

To do this, you need to book an appointment in branch where we will verify your identity in person from a valid passport or ID card. Call us to book a meeting in your nearest branch.

What is a login identifier?

The login identifier is a 4-digit sequence that allows you to verify that the login request you get in your Nordea ID app is genuine. 

Our personal customers will see the login identifier when they use their Nordea ID app to access Nordea Netbank. Our corporate customers will see the login identifier when they log in to Nordea Business or Corporate Netbank. The login identifier is gradually being added to other services provided by third parties. 

You don’t need to enter the login identifier anywhere. You simply need to check that you see the same 4-character identifier on your Nordea ID app as the one shown on the login page of the online banking service or third-party service you are logging in to. 

If the login identifiers don’t match, don’t confirm the login request in your Nordea ID app. 

User ID

A series of digits (6-8 digits)  that you must enter first when logging in to Nordea Netbank or Nordea Mobile or when calling Nordea Customer Service. You will also need your user ID when activating the Nordea ID app for the first time.

Nordea ID device

The Nordea ID device is a means of identification for those of our customers who don’t have a mobile device on which they could install the Nordea ID app. To use the Nordea ID device, you need Nordea access codes.
