Information on Handelsbanken Payment API version 2

Update regarding V2 Payments API for Swedish customers

Handelsbanken Relaunches Payment API V2

The PIS API version 2 has now been relaunched. This version is identical to the previously released version, with the addition of a new endpoint.

Our Payment API V2 now supports the SEK Credit Transfer endpoint for the new local domestic payment type in Sweden.

In addition, we have introduced a new endpoint for both corporate and private customers: other-bank-domestic-credit-transfer. This endpoint should be used for payments that need to be debited immediately after successfully passing all internal validation checks. We understand that this functionality is important for some Third-Party Providers (TPPs). For more information, please refer to the FAQ for ‘Payments to other Banks’.

Please note that, due to changes to our account offerings, it will no longer be possible to initiate payments to other banks from the account type Allkortskonto.

Important Timeline

We kindly ask you to review the documentation available on our Developer Portal and test your integration in our Sandbox environment.

Please be aware that we will shortly be deprecating PIS API V1 and is scheduled to be decommissioned on the 15th November 2026.
