Nordea ID app provides an easy and secure way to authenticate your identity. With the app you can do your banking regardless of time and place. Begin by installing the app on your mobile device and go through the activation process. You shouldn’t rely on just one copy of the Nordea ID app. If your phone or tablet breaks down or gets lost, you will also lose the Nordea ID app and you will need to go through the activation process again. To avoid this, we recommend that you install the Nordea ID app on more than one mobile device. With the Nordea ID app you can: - log in to Nordea services and confirm actions - confirm online payments in a secure way - as a personal customer identify yourself in other service providers’ services (only in Finland and Norway) - identify yourself when calling Nordea Customer Service. (only in Finland and Norway) The app can’t be used on rooted mobile devices for security reasons. Read more: Finland: nordea.fi/IDapp Norway: nordea.no/NordeaID Denmark: nordea.dk/NordeaID

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Vipps at 4.8 against Nordea ID's 4.4. Vipps also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). Nordea ID's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Vipps holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2.4K and 1.6K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of Vipps's written reviews are positive against 40% of Nordea ID's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Vipps ships an update weekly, Nordea ID every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
