Melhusbanken API Access – Open Banking Integration

Pulling live financial data out of Melhusbanken no longer means wrestling with eIDAS certificates or bank-specific onboarding. With open-banking.io you point a single REST API at Melhus Sparebank and start syncing account information programmatically — ideal for accounting tools, treasury dashboards, lending checks or personal finance apps that need dependable Norwegian bank data.

Melhusbanken, the savings bank rooted in Melhus and part of Eika Gruppen, exposes both personal and business accounts through the standard open-banking rails. open-banking.io normalises that access so you write your integration once and reuse it across 2,600+ European banks.

How to connect Melhusbanken

1. Create an open-banking.io account and grab your API key.
2. Call the institutions endpoint and select Melhusbanken from the Norwegian list.
3. Redirect the account holder to Melhusbanken's own login to approve the consent.
4. Receive the callback and store the returned account identifiers.
5. Query balances and transactions, then schedule refreshes as needed.

What data you can access

• Accounts — personal and business account details and metadata
• Balances — current and available amounts in real time
• Transactions — historical and incoming entries with counterparties and references

Consent and coverage

A single Melhusbanken authorisation stays valid for up to 180 days before the customer needs to re-approve, so long-running syncs keep flowing with minimal friction. Note that a BIC is not published for this institution, so match by the open-banking.io institution ID rather than by SWIFT code. Both account types — business and personal — are supported.

Privacy by design

open-banking.io is zero-knowledge: credentials are entered only on Melhusbanken's own pages, never touching our servers, and we don't retain your customers' banking secrets. The platform is fully certificate-free, so there's no QWAC or eIDAS paperwork to procure or renew.

Pricing

Access starts at roughly EUR 3 per month — a flat, predictable rate with no per-call surprises and no enterprise contract required to begin testing.
