BankID
BankID is a digital authentication and digital signature solution from Finansiell ID-Teknik (BID AB), a Swedish standards body. It is used in Nordic countries primarily as a secure login method for online banking, e-government services, and other high-security transactions. The macOS app serves as a local authenticator and signature component, working alongside web browsers and other applications to complete multi-factor authentication flows and digitally sign documents. It is essential infrastructure for financial and government transactions in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionBankID appears to have been discontinued by its developer — the application is marked as end-of-life and no longer receives active maintenance or updates. The last known version (7.11.0, from June 2021) was built exclusively for Intel (x86-64) and has no native Apple Silicon support. Since this is a discontinued product with no path to a native build, it will stop working entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028). Users who depend on BankID should contact their bank or financial institution immediately to ask whether an alternative authentication method is available — many Nordic banks have moved to mobile-based authentication (BankID app on iPhone/iPad) or browser-based solutions that do not require a separate macOS client. If your bank still requires the desktop BankID client, escalate the question to their support team; they may have a newer version or migration path that is not yet publicly documented.
