Resurs Bank (Norway) API access & open banking

Reaching your Resurs Bank data in Norway usually means wrestling with PSD2 certificates, sandbox registrations and TPP paperwork. open-banking.io skips all of that. It is a hosted, certificate-free bridge to 2,600+ European banks that lets you view — and optionally program against — your own Resurs Bank accounts without ever running your own open-banking stack. Resurs Bank in Norway is supported for personal accounts, and the whole thing is priced at roughly EUR 3 per month.

The part people tend to expect wrong: you never "call an API" to link your bank. Connecting happens entirely in the open-banking.io dashboard, and the programmatic tools only come afterward if you want them.

How to connect Resurs Bank

1. Sign up for open-banking.io and set your encryption passphrase. The key pair is generated on your own device, so the private key that unlocks your data never leaves it.
2. Open the dashboard and pick Resurs Bank from the bank list, then choose the personal account type.
3. You are redirected to Resurs Bank's own secure login, where you approve access on the bank's official PSD2 consent screen — your credentials go only to Resurs Bank, never to open-banking.io.
4. Once approved, your accounts and transactions sync back into the dashboard. Resurs Bank grants consent for up to 180 days, after which you simply re-approve on the same screen.

No BIC is needed for Resurs Bank in Norway (it is listed as n/a), and there is no code, key or redirect to configure to get connected.

Access your data

Want to read Resurs Bank data programmatically? That is an optional developer step taken after the connection exists. From the Developers page, create an API key and export a credentials.json — this file bundles the API key together with your private decryption key. Then use the CLI (openbanking accounts, openbanking transactions, openbanking sync), an SDK, or the REST API directly. Requests authenticate with the X-Api-Key header, and every response is decrypted locally with your own key. The API key alone only ever returns ciphertext.

Because open-banking.io is zero-knowledge, its servers hold only your public key — they can store your encrypted data but never read it.

Do I need an eIDAS certificate for Resurs Bank?

No. open-banking.io is certificate-free; you approve access on Resurs Bank's consent screen and skip TPP licensing entirely.

Can open-banking.io see my Resurs Bank transactions?

No. Data is decrypted only on your device with a key you alone hold. The servers store ciphertext and your public key.

How long does a Resurs Bank connection last?

Up to 180 days per consent. When it expires, re-approve on Resurs Bank's login to keep syncing.
