Aera Access is an authentication and authorization solution used for Aera’s employees, partners and customers to access relevant Aera resources. Activation requires Norwegian BankID, and all users are pre-registered. This implies that persons that have not been instructed by Aera or their employer to use Aera Access will not be able to activate it. Aera Access binds a user to a specific mobile device and enables the user to authenticate using the mobile device’s native fingerprint or FaceID. The user will receive a push notification when requesting to access to e.g. one of Aeras customer portals and is asked to verify with his/her FaceID or fingerprint. Aera Payment and Identification AS is a joint venture between the two largest grocery merchants in Norway and delivers a merchant centric payments and digital ID services platform. E.g. Aera has ID and payment gateways that enables flexible customer identification – supporting a wide range of identifiers and access points, PSD2 RTS compliant strong customer authentication solutions and omnichannel payments. Aera’s platform is based in APIs and SDKs for simple, flexible, and cost-efficient integration. Check out the Aera payment and ID platform on area.id.
