AirPlus offers cardholders the option to use the Freja app to strengthen security when confirming online purchases.

AirPlus - FI - Freja ↗ · repeat of an earlier article

What happened

  • Cardholders without a Nordic personal identity number who currently use SMS one-time codes to log in to the AirPlus app are asked to use Freja eID.
  • Freja registration requires scanning a passport or national ID card and taking an ID selfie in the Freja app.
  • Freja account verification is performed by Freja security staff, normally taking about 10 minutes on weekdays between 08:00 and 22:00 CET.

Why it matters to Signicat

  • A Finnish card issuer routing non-Nordic-ID users to Freja eID is a small customer integration in a Signicat-relevant authentication segment, with low direct overlap with Signicat's Nordic brokering offer.
