    Optimising digital identity onboarding in Norway: Capturing the hidden 1–5% (2026)

    Norway has digital identity figured out. With near-universal BankID adoption, baseline conversion rates are exceptionally high and drop-off rates are incredibly low.

    The EUDI wallet is here: Navigating the new era of digital onboarding

    For every 100 prospects that start your digital onboarding, how many actually finish? That drop-off rate is more than a vanity metric; it’s a direct hit to your bottom line. For years, the financial industry has worked to reduce this friction, balancing security, compliance, and user experience. Now, a transformative new element is entering the landscape: the EU Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet. But this isn't a silver bullet that replaces everything. Instead, it marks the next phase in a 5-10 year transformation story, arriving to coexist with, and in some cases complement, established electronic IDs (eIDs) and identity verification (eIDV) methods. For fintechs and financial institutions, this means the market is about to get more complex, making a clear strategy more critical than ever.
