Corresponding potential for EU: 15,7 and 16,8 million. 3,9 million consumers were signed up for receiving e-invoices. Corresponding EU-potential 280,8 million.

e-ID as a service

e-banking customers in Finland used their e-banking passwords 56,2 million times to log in to public sector and other non-banking services last year. Up from 47,1m. Finland is a small country - so it may be useful to multiply into a corresponding EU-potential = 4 billion times. Does this save tax payers' money? Does it save citizens nerves? Oh ye...

There are no corporate customers.. only Mr Same Guy

Examples: - payments for e-banking, - e-banking for e-id, e-id for e-signatures - e-banking for e-invoicing, e-invo...
