Signi and Bank Identity - BankID

• verifying the identity of the signer online
• electronic signing of documents
• logging into digital services

How it works: the client is identified through their bank, by logging into their internet or mobile banking. The verification is based on the assumption that the bank has already identified the client in the past and verified their data. It is exactly these verified data that it provides for bank identity services.

What benefits does combining BankID and Signi bring?

1. Signi customers hardly have to do anything to use bank identity. There is no need to integrate with the Bank Identity services. In Signi, it is enough to activate the relevant license, which contains the BankID features, and set up the necessary details for using its services.
2. Document creators have in Signi a complete environment for signing company documents available for drafting documents to be signed, including signature scenarios, controlled distribution to everyone inside and outside the company, records and searching of signed documents, long-term archiving of electronic documents or integration with various systems.
3. For those identifying or signing who do not have access to the Bank Identity services, they can use alternative methods in Signi, e.g. Signi verification or Biometric or Qualified signatures. Users still use the same application throughout.

Which BankID services does Signi make available and how?

Signi is connected to the Bank Identity services and offers combined services:

• Remote identification via BankID,
• Signing via BankID SIGN

What is the relationship between BankID and Signi?

Signi is one of BankID's partners, providing BankID services as part of its products. The prices and conditions for providing BankID services are governed directly by the terms of Bank Identity. On Signi's side, the prices for BankID services are only re-invoiced according to actual usage.

Access via programmatic vs. user interface

• BankID provides its services in the form of a programmatic interface, i.e. an API. It does not assume direct access by users.
• Signi, on the other hand, is one of the services that provides a user interface for remote identification, signing and archiving of electronic documents, and offers the use of BankID services as one of the options for signing or identification.

Signi as a fast and cheap route to BankID

• While direct integration with BankID services can be afforded especially by large companies,
• through Signi, everyone can use BankID services - large companies, medium and smaller companies, small entrepreneurs and individuals
• and that with zero investment costs and even "immediately," all you need is to set up a Signi account and have the relevant service activated.

Do I have to have a contract with BankID?

• In most cases it only depends on you, whichever is more convenient for you.
• Either Signi resells and re-invoices you the BankID services, or
• you conclude your own contract with BankID, pay for its services yourself, and to use it in Signi you only enter your details in Signi for connecting to BankID.
• However, if you are subject to AML obligations, you must by law have a contract directly with Bank Identity as the provider of BankID remote identification services. Again, to use it in Signi you only enter your details in Signi for connecting to BankID.
