Upcoming changes in Swedish payment infrastructure

Sweden is facing one of the biggest changes in the history of its payment infrastructure, regarding the updated payment type Credit Transfer. Please refer to the information in the below link.

PLEASE NOTE - UPDATED NEWS REGARDING THE TIMELINE FOR MIGRATION!

Update regarding the migration from the legacy Payments API to the NEW Swedish-market Payments APIs

The date previously communicated for completing this migration, 18 June, is being revised.

This is due to dependencies on the underlying Swedish clearing infrastructure operated by Bankgirot, the timeline of which lies outside Handelsbanken's control.

Until that dependency is resolved, we are not in a position to confirm a new fixed date.

We will share confirmed dates with you as soon as they are available, with sufficient notice for you to plan accordingly.
