​Nets, a part of Nexi Group, has reached an agreement with French IN Groupe to acquire its eID business. IN Groupe, a global leader in trustworthy digital services, is a digital identity-, cybersecurity and resilience specialist with decades of experience serving citizens, businesses, and the public sector. The company is the ideal owner and future operator of Nets’ e-ID-solutions.

​​​The agreement, which will continue until the year-end of 2031, reinforces Nets' vital role in Norwegian payment infrastructure and confirms its position as a long-term trusted partner for BankID BankAxept.​

​​A clear majority of Nordic consumers still prefer to shop in physical environments rather than online, taking part in an experience where they can often see, feel and test the products before buying.

​Physical goods dominate European eCommerce spending, while digital services and travel continue their slow recovery according to the Nexi 2021 eCommerce Report.
