Bisnode acquires e-authentication product
Bisnode has acquired EDIG, a provider of electronic authentication solutions. Through its range of e-authentication services, EDIG focuses on creating solutions that help customers to streamline their administration. EDIG is a key partner to Bisnode’s subsidiaries active in credit and risk information, and will provide these with a valuable complement and an expanded offering.
EDIG helps companies and other organisations to offer their customers or members online services in which e-authentication is used for identity verification or digital signature. EDIG is a partner to all issuers of e-authentication on the Swedish market, which today has approximately 1.5 million e-authentication users. EDIG is expected to have significant growth potential.
“EDIG has a small but important product with major potential that is a valuable complement to our portfolio of credit management services. E-authentication helps both companies and organisations to achieve more efficient identity management and digital signature of private consumers”, says Jonas Edström, business unit director Service & Venture Development.
