Orkla Sparebank API Access & Open Banking Data

Reading your Orkla Sparebank accounts programmatically usually means TPP licences, eIDAS certificates and per-bank sandboxes. open-banking.io removes all of that. It gives you one certificate-free way into Orkla Sparebank (Orkanger, est. 1841) — business and personal accounts alike — with every response decrypted on your own device using a key only you hold.

How to connect Orkla Sparebank

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

  1. Sign up at open-banking.io and set your encryption passphrase. Your key pair is generated locally on your device; the service only ever sees your public key.
  2. In the dashboard, search for Orkla Sparebank and choose the account type you need — business or personal.
  3. You are redirected to Orkla Sparebank's own secure login, where you approve access under PSD2. open-banking.io never sees your bank credentials.
  4. Your accounts sync back into the dashboard. Consent lasts up to 180 days, after which you simply re-approve on the bank's screen.

Orkla Sparebank has no public BIC on file here, so selection is by name in the dashboard rather than by identifier.

Access your data

Once the connection is live, reading it programmatically is an optional developer step. On the Developers page, create an API key and export a credentials.json — this bundles the API key and your private decryption key. From there:

  • CLI: openbanking accounts, openbanking transactions, openbanking sync
  • SDK / REST API: authenticate each request with the X-Api-Key header

Every payload is decrypted locally with your own key. The CLI and SDK only read and sync connections you already approved — there is no connect command, because connecting only ever happens in the dashboard. An API key alone returns ciphertext; without your private key it stays unreadable, even to open-banking.io.

This is what zero-knowledge means in practice: certificate-free onboarding, no eIDAS paperwork, and data only you can decrypt — across 2,600+ banks for around EUR 3/month.

Do I need a PSD2 licence for Orkla Sparebank?

No. open-banking.io handles the regulated access; you approve consent directly on Orkla Sparebank's login.

Can open-banking.io read my Orkla Sparebank transactions?

No. It holds only your public key, so stored data stays encrypted. Decryption happens on your device.

How long does access last?

Up to 180 days per consent, then you re-approve on Orkla Sparebank's own screen.
