Yeah, same way they have it in Sweden, it's called "BankID" and only a few banks are allowed to issue that

I've worked on BankID implementation and it was super smooth, good tools for testing and well documented.

We didn't need to scam anyone though, just have them verify that they were a Swedish resident (had a valid Swedish SSN and we're the ones ordering) :D

Major distinction being that BankID is privately owned and operated, as opposed to state-run.
