What happened
- European Parliament approved eIDAS 2.0, and the source states that every EU country must issue an eID wallet to its citizens.
- The source states that the Council is expected to adopt eIDAS 2.0 in March 2024.
- The source states that BankID has cost more than NOK 5 billion to develop and operate.
Why it matters to Signicat
- Signicat's Wallet Hub and eID brokering in the Nordics face a potential competitor position if BankID becomes the national wallet; this is a proposal, not a decision.
- The stated intent to reuse market-provider solutions rather than build a new public wallet is a Norway-specific policy signal relevant to Nordic EUDI wallet positioning.
