      • 2018 July 12, Johanna Allhorn, “Nu låter PostNord vem som helst hämta ut ditt paket [Now PostNord lets anyone pick up your package]”, in Ehandel:

        PostNord har nämligen lanserat en ny tjänst, som går ut på att mottagaren av paketet kan identifiera sig med hjälp av BankID. När det är gjort får mottagaren en digital avi som hon eller han kan skicka till någon annan, som sedan kan hämta ut paketet genom att endast visa upp avin.

        PostNord has launched a new service, which means that the recipient of the package can identify himself using BankID. When that's done, the recipient gets a digital postal slip that she or he can send to someone else, who can then pick up the package by just showing the postal slip.

        Alla som inte har ett konto i den bank vi upphandlar banktjänster av kommer att få en avi. […] Fast bankkontor finns inte överallt. Då får elkunderna bege sig till någon annan som kan lösa in avin. Som tobakshandlare eller spelbutiker.

        Anyone who does not have an account with the bank we procure banking services from will receive a withdrawal slip. […] But bank offices are not everywhere. Then the electricity customers have to go to someone else who can redeem the withdrawal slip. Like tobacconists or betting shops.
