As of June 2021, BankID now requires Android 6 or newer for its Security App to function. If your device does not meet this requirement and cannot be updated, you will not be able to use BankID on it. The BankID Security App is a crucial component of Mobile BankID, an electronic personal identification system utilized by various service providers on mobile phones and pads.

Mobile BankID is a service provided by several major banks including Danske Bank, Handelsbanken, ICA Banken, Länsförsäkringar, Nordea, SEB, Skandia, Sparbanken Syd, Swedbank, and Ålandsbanken. This system allows users to securely identify themselves electronically through their mobile devices, offering a convenient and efficient way to access a range of services provided by these institutions.
