Common questions about BankID and log-in problems

You can use your BankID as identification with us, as well as with authorities and other companies. 

How do I log in using BankID on card?

You need a log-in card, a card reader and a cable to connect the card reader with your device. 

A BankID is stored on your log-on card. The BankID will work as soon as you connect your card reader with the cable. To get started using the card reader with the cable attached, you need to install two programs to your computer: a program for BankID and a software driver for the card reader. 

I get "BankID missing 10036"/ "Security program missing" when trying to log in

  1. Check your card reader, follow the instructions here: 
  2. Check that you have installed the latest versions of BankID and the driver for the card reader.
  3. Reinstall the BankID Application. 
    If you have BankID on file, this may also be removed. Once the installation is completed, install the BankID Application.

How do I order a Mobile BankID for the first time?

To order a Mobile BankID for the first time, you login to your Online Banking with your card reader and log-on card with BankID. In addition, you need to verify your identity with a valid Swedish national id-card or a Swedish passport.   

If you already have a Mobile BankID , you can order or renew Mobile BankID in the mobile app.

FAQ

  • I get the message 'Batterinivå låg' (Low battery) on my card reader display. How do I change batteries?

    As long as you use the card reader with the cable attached, the battery is not used at all. When you use the card reader without cable, it is powered by two CR2032 3 volt batteries. (The audio version is powered by two AAA batteries.) By normal usage, the batteries should last for approximately five years. You change the batteries yourself by using a small star chisel. The batteries are under the hatch on the back of the card reader. You will find these batteries in any technology-oriented shop.

  • Can I change PIN to my log-in card?

    No. The only way to get a new PIN to your log-in card is if you order a new card.

  • I get the message 'Detta BankID är låst' (This BankID is locked) in the BankID application on my computer. What does it mean?

    This error message does NOT mean that your log-in card has been blocked, so you do not need a new log-in card. What you do need is to do a full uninstallation of the BankID security program. The link below will lead you to BankID's website with instructions how to do this. 

    Uninstall BankID Security Application Completely Opens in a new window

    Once the program has been uninstalled, you need to install it again. 

  • I received a temporary log-in from the Bank. What do I do?

    With a temporary log-in, you can use your debit or credit card to log in. This log-in will only work if you have had help from your branch office or customer support. Please note, this log-in is only valid for 10 days.
