iBanFirst Open Banking & API Access in Norway

Pulling your iBanFirst balances and transactions into your own tools shouldn't mean building against a bank API or wrangling eIDAS certificates. With open-banking.io you connect iBanFirst once through a guided PSD2 flow, and your account data flows into a dashboard where only you hold the key to decrypt it. iBanFirst (BIC FXBBBEBBXXX) is supported for both business and personal accounts, with consent lasting up to 180 days before you renew it.

How to connect iBanFirst

Connecting happens entirely in the open-banking.io dashboard — there is no API call, code, or key involved in this step.

  1. Sign up for open-banking.io and set your encryption passphrase. Your keys are generated locally on your own device, so nobody else — including open-banking.io — can read your data.
  2. In the dashboard, choose iBanFirst and select whether you're linking a business or personal account.
  3. You're redirected to iBanFirst's own secure login, where you approve access on the bank's consent screen (standard PSD2).
  4. Your accounts sync back into your dashboard, and refresh automatically for the 180-day consent period.

That's the whole flow. No developer redirect, no certificate, no bank credentials ever touch open-banking.io.

Access your data

Once iBanFirst is connected, reading the data programmatically is an optional extra step for developers. Open the Developers page, create an API key, and export a credentials.json — this bundles your API key together with your private decryption key. From there you can use the CLI (openbanking accounts, openbanking transactions, openbanking sync), an SDK, or the REST API directly.

Every request carries your key in the X-Api-Key header, and each response is decrypted locally with your private key. An API key on its own only ever returns ciphertext — without your key the servers, which hold just your public key, have nothing readable to give.

At around EUR 3/month, you get certificate-free, zero-knowledge access across 2,600+ EU and UK banks.

Do I need an API key to connect iBanFirst?

No. Connecting is done in the dashboard by approving access on iBanFirst's login. API keys are only for reading data afterwards.

Can open-banking.io see my iBanFirst transactions?

No. Data is encrypted with a key generated on your device. The service stores only your public key and never decrypts your data.

Does iBanFirst support business accounts?

Yes — both business and personal iBanFirst accounts work, with consent valid for up to 180 days.
