Testing BankID -se
You can perform stress testing on the service, particularly the initiation and polling components, without needing to set up BankID test users or apps. This is beneficial as setting up test users can be time-consuming and complex.When testing and developing services using BankID, you’ll need a test BankID. Follow these steps to get started:
- Download the BankID App:
- For mobile devices, download the BankID app from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android).
- For desktop use, download the BankID Security Application to your PC from this link: Install BankID on Desktop.
- Configure the App for Testing:
- After downloading, configure the BankID app or Security Application for test mode. Here you find a detailed guide: BankID test configuration
- Get a BankID for Testing:
- To obtain a test BankID, you must first acquire a test personal number, which is essential for creating a test user. You can get a test personal number from the Swedish Tax Agency’s page for test personal numbers. It is not recommended to use real personal numbers for testing.

- The test bankID is then created in the demo bank. Here is the link: Get a BankID for test
Testing with the BankID app on a mobile device is recommended, as it reflects the experience of most users. Almost all BankID authorizations are conducted via the mobile app, with only about 2% occurring through the desktop application. It’s common for the authorization process to start on a PC/Mac but be completed on a mobile device.
You also find the guide on how to install and configure the app for testing at the BankID developers site Test BankID
