I live in Sweden. My bank (Swedbank) recently closed my BankID and told me that I either have to buy more services from them or look for another bank if I want to have an BankID (which is required for vaccination).

Yeah, it really works fine. Fortunately, it wasn't too difficult to find another bank that didn't want to blackmail me, but the system has such obvious flaws that it shouldn't exist.

To make matters worse, the current chairman of Swedbank is Göran Persson, a previous prime minister. I fear that there is some ugly corruption involved here.
