Open a comdirect account with just a few clicks
comdirect, one of the most established online banks in Germany, has been offering online identification from AUTHADA since 2018. This has made it even easier for customers to open a comdirect custody account. comdirect was the first direct bank to use AUTHADA ident in the SDK integration version to open a custody account. The AUTHADA solution is thus fully integrated into the comdirect app and has the familiar yellow comdirect style. Every comdirect account account can now be opened by using the eID solution.


The AUTHADA solution in operation
Thanks to AUTHADA, comdirect customers can identify themselves without having to wait and without having to contact anyone. In addition to video legitimation, the bank also offers legitimation verification via the eID function. By integrating the AUTHADA solution as an SDK variant (Software Development Kit), users benefit from a seamless customer experience in comdirect’s application channels and digital identity verification. It is therefore possible to open a comdirect account without having to leave the online bank’s application. Online identification via the eID function ensures maximum flexibility, the highest level of reliability and data security. The online identity check is completed in less than a minute. The number of customer transactions continued to grow thanks to the addition of online identification via eID. At the same time, the costs for online identification fell. An enrichment for customers and for comdirect!
