This article explains why your account is always verified with online banking credentials.
Strong authentication is used to ensure that online auctions on Huutokaupat.com take place in the most reliable and secure environment possible.
Each bidder is strongly authenticated with online banking credentials or a mobile certificate and is responsible for the bids made with their own user account. This allows us to ensure that bids are made with genuine purchase intent (for example, it is not possible to artificially raise the price using fake user accounts). Through authentication, we also ensure that the actual responsible person of a company submits the seller application to us and is therefore authorized to sell on behalf of the company.
