Orkla Sparebank API Access for Open Banking Data

Pulling live financial data out of Orkla Sparebank no longer means wrestling with bespoke bank integrations or eIDAS certificates. With open-banking.io you can plug into this Orkland-based Eika Alliance savings bank through a single, standardised API and keep your own systems continuously in sync with what customers see in their accounts.

Whether you are building bookkeeping software, a personal finance dashboard, or an automated reconciliation flow, the same endpoints work across Orkla Sparebank and 2,600+ other banks in the EU and UK.

How to connect Orkla Sparebank

  1. Create your open-banking.io account and grab your API key.
  2. Select Orkla Sparebank from the supported Norwegian institutions.
  3. Redirect the account holder to their trusted bank login to approve access.
  4. Receive the authorised consent token and start requesting data.
  5. Refresh on your schedule until the consent window ends.

What data you can access

Once consent is granted, the API exposes the essentials for both personal and business relationships:

  • Accounts — identifiers and metadata for each linked account.
  • Balances — current and available amounts in real time.
  • Transactions — dated, categorised movement history for reconciliation and analysis.

Orkla Sparebank supports both business and personal account types. Each authorisation stays valid for up to 180 days, after which the customer simply re-approves to continue the connection. Note that a BIC is not published for this bank, so linking is handled through open-banking.io's institution selector rather than a SWIFT lookup.

Privacy by design

We operate a zero-knowledge model: your customers' banking credentials are entered only at Orkla Sparebank's own login and never touch our servers. There are no QWAC or QSEAL certificates to obtain, buy, or renew — the certificate-free setup means you can be live in minutes instead of weeks.

Pricing

Access starts at roughly EUR 3 per month, a flat and predictable rate with no per-call surprises and no enterprise onboarding fees.

FAQ

Do I need a PSD2 licence to use this?

No. open-banking.io acts as the regulated access layer, so you consume clean data through our API without holding your own licence.

How often can I refresh Orkla Sparebank data?

As often as your use case needs, for the full 180-day life of each consent, before a quick re-authorisation renews it.

Can I connect business accounts too?

Yes. Both personal and business account types at Orkla Sparebank are supported through the same integration.
