Does norwegian banking apps work on Jolla?

I am particularly thinking of BankID and Vipps.

Have you give the search a try and searched for “banking app”? I found this:

Banking apps on Sailfish OS

Here is a list of banking applications and their user-experience on Sailfish OS. Please improve this list by reporting your own experience. Detailed instructions how to write a proper entry are at the end of this post. Please add your report even if somebody has already reported an application, because different combinations of app version, Sailfish OS version and MicroG version often result in differing experiences. Evaluation codes N1: Native app - works N2: Native app - works mostly N3: …

Hope this will help you

Both BankID and Vipps works as intended.You have to open BankID manually because apps that use it for login or verification does not do that automaticaly. You will need MicroG for both.The DNB app is not working.

There are no Norwegian apps reported in the link above ( Banking apps on Sailfish OS ). Feel free to edit the page and inform Norwegians about banking apps on Sailfish.

I have not managed to get VIPPS working (and the same goes with DNB).

i would love to see a guide with the steps needed to get it working (as I’m fairly new to the plattform). I have a Sony Xperia X (and a C2 ordered).

Firstly you will need to have MicroG installed and set up correctly. Just search for MicroG here on the forum. I installed Vipps from the Aurora store and it works out of the box without any issus on my C2. I don’t remember if you need BankId for the setup or not. The DNB app is not working at all. It installs without any errors but crashes as soon as you try to log in. I have not tried to start the app in the terminal so I don’t know why

Just one more thing. Other apps or websites that uses Vipps or BankId for payment or verification do not open them automatically like they do on Android.

Will have another go at it!

Micro G installed, some settings tweaked and VIPPS started. Had to install a supported browser (chrome, edge, brave) to authenticate with bank id I am now logged in to VIPPS. I also installed Ruter and stepped through it all the way to wanted to transfer my ticket.

Thanks for the help Cato.
