Sparebanken Øst API Access for Open Banking Data

Reaching your Sparebanken Øst accounts programmatically no longer means chasing PSD2 certificates or running your own bank integration. open-banking.io links the Drammen-based savings bank to a single dashboard and a clean developer API, covering both business and personal accounts. Everything is decrypted on your own device with a key that never leaves it — the service holds only your public key, so it can never read your statements.

How to connect Sparebanken Øst

Connecting happens entirely inside the open-banking.io dashboard — there is no endpoint to call and no key to paste.

  1. Sign up for open-banking.io and set your encryption passphrase. Your key pair is generated locally on your device at this step.
  2. In the dashboard, search for Sparebanken Øst and choose the account type you need — business or personal.
  3. You are redirected to Sparebanken Øst's own secure login, where you approve access under PSD2. Your credentials are only ever seen by the bank.
  4. Consent is granted for up to 180 days, after which you simply re-approve to keep the link alive.
  5. Your accounts and transactions sync back into the dashboard, ready to view or export.

Sparebanken Øst does not publish a public BIC/SWIFT code for this flow, so none is required — the bank is identified for you inside the dashboard.

Access your data

Once Sparebanken Øst is connected, reading it in code is an optional extra step for developers. On the Developers page, create an API key and export a credentials.json — this bundles the API key together with your private decryption key. From there you can run the CLI (openbanking accounts, openbanking transactions, openbanking sync) or call the REST API and SDKs. Every request carries your key in the X-Api-Key header, and each response is decrypted locally with your private key. An API key on its own returns only ciphertext — without your key, nobody, including open-banking.io, can turn it into readable data.

Pricing and privacy

Access is roughly EUR 3 per month, with no certificate paperwork and no per-call fees. The zero-knowledge, certificate-free design means your financial data stays yours end to end.

Does open-banking.io store my Sparebanken Øst login?

No. You authenticate directly on Sparebanken Øst's own consent screen; open-banking.io never sees your banking password.

Can I connect a business account?

Yes. Both business and personal Sparebanken Øst accounts are supported during the dashboard connect flow.

How long does access last?

Up to 180 days per consent, the PSD2 maximum. Re-approve on the bank's screen to renew.
