Freja eID offered to AirPlus cardholders for online purchase approval
What happened
- AirPlus offers cardholders the Freja eID app for approving online purchases.
- Cardholders without a Nordic personal number who currently use SMS one-time codes to log in to the AirPlus app are encouraged to use Freja eID.
Why it matters to Signicat
- Freja extends its eID into a corporate payment card login, a fintech_payments vertical outside Nordic banking.
- The deployment targets non-Nordic cardholders, a use case where Freja competes with SMS-OTP and passkey-style login rather than with national eID brokering.
