Correct me if I’m wrong but you can do BankID with a chip and pin device from the major banks?

When I first got BankID it was not tied to my phone and it was a lot of hassle to figure out how to make that the case with Handelsbanken (my bank at the time).

Much easier with Nordea, nordea having greater English support (though not amazing) and a much better web interface (bordering amazing when compared with Handelsbanken).

You’re right, but there’s no way I’m lugging an additional widget everywhere I go.

Now, the Apple Watch doesn’t have it either (yet) but it’s a good enough compromise where I can take a walk or run an errand without needing to take my phone with me.

Are you using BankID on the go?

I use it mostly to sign contracts, view kivra (IE; check payslips and official mail from companies), sign automatic payments and check my bank account.

I don’t need to do those things on the go, but maybe I’m missing something, since currently I have an iPhone with BankID and I could be forgetting a time when I use it.

Almost every single time I’m at the store to sign in to my bank and transfer funds to my debit card :)

(Getting a credit card with Apple Pay fixed this)

My local shop is an AutoMat[1] that requires you to BankID with a QR code before the doors will open. I’m realistically not going to take my laptop, a personal hotspot, and my BankID card machine there to get in.
