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.

Updated Information:

Please note that the go-live date for Handelsbanken's new PIS API version 2, which includes the updated SEK Credit Transfer, has been postponed from the 4th of May to the 18th of May. The postponement is due to not all banks having completed their connection to the SEK Credit Transfer infrastructure yet. Despite our revised go-live date, please note that Bankgirot's plan for all banks to be connected by the 14th of April remains unchanged. The sandbox remains open and supports the new functionality in PIS API v2, so you can continue to perform your tests there.

General API FAQs

Who can use Handelsbanken's PSD2 APIs?

When you add an application you are provided with an API Key and Secret for the application. You must supply these credentials when you call an API that requires you to authenticate your application.

To register an application click on Apps in the main menu and then click on the 'Create new app' link. Once you have provided an application name, description, etc you will be shown your application API Key and Secret.

Make a note of your API Secret because it is only displayed once.

How do I reset my application API Secret?

Your API Secret is stored encrypted so we cannot retrieve the unencrypted version to tell you the value if you forget it.

You can reset it, which will update the stored value and return the new value to you.

To do that click 'Apps' in the main menu, click on the application in question and then you can click the 'Reset' link in the 'API Secret' section.

Your new Secret will be displayed at the top of the page.

Can Short Term Consent be used to access card information?

Yes. In Sweden, short term consent is supported not only for accounts and balances but also for retrieving card-related data such as card list and balances.

This applies exclusively to individual users and is typically used for one-time data access.
