What is NOBID?

Large-Scale Pilot to Test the EU Digital Identity Wallet

Through the DIGITAL-programme, the European Commission has initiated a call for large-scale pilots of various use cases in the EU Digital Identity Wallet.

Nordic-Baltic eID (NOBID) is a project that is focused on enabling the use of national eID solutions across the Nordic and Baltic regions. Together with other European partners, we have formed a consortium to apply to conduct a large-scale pilot.

The NOBID Consortium decided to focus on the payments use case for domestic and cross border usage.

Our Proposal

The Payment Use Case

The payment use case is recognised as a key use case based on several rationales, one being the potential extension to the Digital Euro. The use case is based on the existing infrastructure used for bank payments including SCT instant payments as well as traditional account-to-account transfers.
