Jbf API Access & Open Banking for Norway | open-banking.io

Reach your Jbf accounts in Norway without building your own PSD2 integration. open-banking.io links to Jbf through Europe's regulated open-banking network — spanning 2,600+ banks — so you can view balances and transactions for both business and personal accounts from one dashboard. There are no eIDAS certificates to buy and no bank-specific paperwork to chase. Every figure that lands in your dashboard is encrypted for a key that only exists on your device, so nobody at open-banking.io can read your Jbf data.

How to connect Jbf

Connecting happens entirely inside 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 key pair is generated locally, and only the public key ever leaves your device.
  2. In the dashboard, choose Jbf from the bank list and pick the account type you want to link — business or personal.
  3. You are redirected to Jbf's own secure login, where you approve access under PSD2 consent. Your credentials stay with Jbf.
  4. Your approved accounts sync back into the dashboard. Consent lasts up to 180 days, after which you simply reauthorise from the same screen.

Access your data

Programmatic access is an optional step after Jbf is connected. Open the Developers page, create an API key, and export a credentials.json — it bundles that API key with your private decryption key. From there use the CLI (openbanking accounts, openbanking transactions, openbanking sync), an SDK, or the REST API. Requests authenticate with the X-Api-Key header, and each response is decrypted locally with your own key. Without that private key the API returns only ciphertext — the server never holds a readable copy. The CLI and SDK read and sync existing connections; they cannot connect a bank.

All of this runs for roughly EUR 3/month.

Does Jbf have a BIC on open-banking.io?

No BIC is listed for Jbf here — you select the bank by name in the dashboard, so a BIC is not needed to connect.

Yes. Both account types are supported; add each one and approve it on Jbf's consent screen.

How long does access stay active?

Up to 180 days per consent. Reauthorise from the dashboard whenever it expires to keep data flowing.
