Scrive and BankID: Driving digital signatures and faster onboarding in Sweden

For more than a decade, Scrive has partnered with BankID to enable secure digital signatures and seamless customer onboarding across Sweden. By combining trusted electronic identification (eID) with automated agreement workflows, the collaboration helps organisations increase conversion, reduce friction, and accelerate digital business growth.

Today, Scrive and BankID power millions of secure digital agreements, transforming how businesses onboard customers and close deals.

65% growth in digital signatures

The adoption of digital signatures continues to grow rapidly. Over the past five years, the number of e-signatures completed with BankID through Scrive has increased by 65%. In 2025 alone, more than 7.3 million digital signatures were completed.
This growth shows that digital identity and e-signing are no longer just compliance tools, they are key drivers of revenue and customer experience.

From days to minutes: a conversion advantage

Speed is one of the biggest advantages of using BankID. In many markets, onboarding can take days or even weeks. In Sweden, it typically takes just 3–7 minutes using BankID through Scrive. That difference directly improves:

• Customer conversion rates
• Time-to-revenue
• Operational efficiency

“At Scrive, we see every day how a trusted digital identity like BankID improves both user experience and business results,” says Viktor Wrede, Chief Strategy Officer at Scrive.

By integrating BankID into Scrive eSign and the Scrive eID Hub, identity verification and legally binding signatures happen in one seamless flow, reducing drop-offs and speeding up decisions.

Enabling digital business across industries

The partnership supports organisations across industries:

Automotive: Remote vehicle purchases completed in minutes

Telecom: Instant subscription activation

Financial services: Fully digital, compliant agreements

Energy and utilities: Fast and secure customer onboarding for contracts, supplier switching, and service activation

Real estate & property management: Streamlined tenant onboarding, digital lease agreements, and automated contract workflows

By removing manual steps, businesses can launch faster, sell smarter, and create entirely new digital customer experiences.

Built for scale, security, and trust

As digital volumes grow, reliability remains critical.

“The combination of strong authentication and a smooth user experience is what makes this partnership so powerful,” says Ilja Ljung, Senior Product Manager at Scrive.

Scrive and BankID are built on shared priorities: security, compliance, and user-centric design, giving organisations the confidence to scale their digital processes.

A foundation for the future of digital agreements

More than 7.3 million signatures in 2025 represent millions of faster, simpler customer journeys. What feels effortless to users is the result of a long-standing collaboration focused on trust, speed, and usability. As digital expectations continue to rise, Scrive and BankID will remain at the core of how organisations turn secure identification and digital signing into real business value.
