Ekeby Sparbank Open Banking & API Access Guide

Ekeby Sparbank customers can bring their account data into their own tools without waiting on a bank developer programme or a PSD2 certificate. open-banking.io links to Ekeby Sparbank (BIC SWEDSESS) as one of 2,600+ EU and UK banks, and it covers both business and personal accounts. Everything you retrieve — balances, transactions, account details — is decrypted on your own device with a key that only you hold. open-banking.io never sees your readable data; its servers store only your public key, so the service is zero-knowledge by design.

How to connect Ekeby Sparbank

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 an encryption passphrase. Your keys are generated locally on your device from that passphrase.
  2. In the dashboard, choose Ekeby Sparbank and pick the account type you want to link — business or personal.
  3. You are redirected to Ekeby Sparbank's own secure login, where you approve access using the bank's normal authentication.
  4. Once you grant PSD2 consent, your accounts sync straight into the dashboard.

Consent to Ekeby Sparbank lasts up to 180 days, after which you simply re-approve on the bank's screen to keep the connection live.

Access your data

Reading data programmatically is an optional step you take after the connection exists. 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 use the CLI (openbanking accounts, openbanking transactions, openbanking sync), an SDK, or the REST API. Every request carries your X-Api-Key header, and each response is decrypted locally with your own key. The CLI and SDK only read and sync connections you already made in the dashboard — there is no connect command, and an API key alone returns nothing but ciphertext without your private key.

At roughly EUR 3/month, with no eIDAS certificate and no per-bank onboarding, it is a practical route to Ekeby Sparbank data for spreadsheets, bookkeeping, or a custom app.

Do I need a certificate to access Ekeby Sparbank?

No. open-banking.io is certificate-free; you approve access on Ekeby Sparbank's own consent screen.

Can open-banking.io read my Ekeby Sparbank transactions?

No. It holds only your public key. Data is decrypted locally, so only you can read it.

How long does Ekeby Sparbank access last?

Up to 180 days per consent, then you re-approve at the bank to renew.
