iDenfy adds Finnish Trust Network to eID verification platform

iDenfy has integrated Finland’s Finnish Trust Network into its electronic identity verification platform, giving businesses a non-document onboarding option for Finnish users. The move aims to speed KYC checks, improve conversion, and support EU eIDAS compliance as more regulated firms accept network-based credentials.

Why it matters: - FTN gives iDenfy customers a familiar, bank- and mobile-based way to verify Finnish users without requiring a physical ID document. - The integration is aimed at reducing onboarding friction and drop-off for businesses serving Finland, where network-based identity is already widely used. - The rollout also supports broader EU pressure to accept digital identity methods under eIDAS rules.

What happened: - iDenfy announced the integration of Finland’s Trust Network, or FTN, into its electronic identity verification platform. - The feature is available now across iDenfy’s identity verification platform. - The company said FTN support can be activated through dashboard settings without new integration work. - iDenfy said the combined flow is available to all clients at no additional cost.

The details: - FTN connects bank-issued eIDs and mobile IDs under a regulated framework. - The network includes major banks such as Nordea and Danske Bank. - FTN is operated by major mobile operators including DNA, Elisa and Telia. - iDenfy said FTN has more than 4 million active users and about 90% adoption in Finland. - The platform lets Finnish users verify with the FTN provider they already use, whether that is a bank or mobile operator. - The workflow avoids manual entry of personal data during onboarding. - Successful FTN verification returns full name, date of birth, address, city, postal code and country. - iDenfy said the system cross-matches that information in real time to check if it is genuine. - The FTN flow sits alongside iDenfy’s standard document-based KYC process. - Businesses can route users to electronic ID verification when document capture is unavailable or fails because of image quality or lighting. - Cases outside automated parameters go to iDenfy’s internal compliance team, which operates 24 hours a day. - iDenfy said FTN can help businesses verify address and demographic data in a single authentication journey.

Between the lines: - FTN appears to be part of iDenfy’s push toward non-document onboarding, after earlier work with Sweden’s BankID, according to CEO Domantas Ciulde. - The company is betting that users are more likely to finish onboarding when the process mirrors the login methods they already use for banking and public services. - iDenfy said document-based KYC can lose users when extra steps such as ID uploads or proof-of-address checks are required. - The integration is also positioned as a practical response to eIDAS 2.0, which requires all 27 EU member states to make at least one EU Digital Identity Wallet available by Dec. 31, 2026. - The release said banks, payment institutions and electronic money providers will need to accept network-based credentials as a valid Strong Customer Authentication method.

What’s next: - iDenfy said it plans to keep adding more countries and native digital identity methods to its platform. - Businesses with Finnish users can now use FTN as part of a broader verification toolkit that combines document and network-based identity checks. - The company said its compliance team will continue reviewing edge cases that automated checks cannot resolve.

The bottom line: - FTN expands iDenfy’s non-document identity options at a moment when European digital ID rules and user expectations are pushing onboarding toward faster, familiar authentication paths.
