14 June 2024

Landsbankinn’s customers can use the Auðkenni app to log in and to authenticate in online banking and the app. Before long, it will also be possible to use the Auðkenni app for valid electronic signatures. This is particularly useful where there is an Internet connection but no phone connection, and for those who have non-Icelandic phone numbers.

The app is called Auðkenni and is produced by Auðkenni hf. It can be downloaded free of charge from the App Store and Google Play.

Who can use the Auðkenni app?

The Auðkenni app can be used anywhere in the world. It uses an Internet connection and is not dependent on a phone connection. This comes in especially useful for customers who have non-Icelandic phone numbers and are unable to install electronic ID with their SIM cards. The app can also be installed on tablets.
