Important Update:
Changes to our Fallback Mechanism
To accommodate BankID API v. 6.0 change we would like to inform that there have been some changes to our contingency (fallback) mechanism. We would also like to remind all TPPs that the fallback mechanism should only be used if the API Channel or certain API functionality is temporarily unavailable and not as a primary means of integration.
For any inquiries or to access the new instructions, please reach out to our support team via email.
The existing solution will remain functional until August 5, 2024.
We strongly advice any TPPs currently using our ordinary customer interface to instead transition to our dedicated PSD2 APIs as the primary interface of their PSD2 services. These APIs offer a more robust and secure interface for your PSD2 services.
Thank you!

International payments now live in production
Payments initiated through the APIs follow the same rules and pricing as for when the end customer enters a payment at the internet bank at ICA Banken.
To initiate payments, third parties need to be licensed by their national FSA and have their eIDAS certificate registered with their application at ICA Banken. Read more about the APIs in the documentation published on our Developer portal.

Payment API now live in production
We have now connected our Payment Initiation APIs to our production systems. That means that licensed third parties can initiate payments on behalf of ICA Banken payment account holders.
The release of payment APIs complements the earlier released Account Information APIs. The release also includes changes to the authentication solution addressing earlier reported issues.
To access production data, third parties need to be licensed by their national FSA and register their eIDAS certificate with their application at ICA Banken. The existing Payment API has transformed into a production version, and we have created a new Sandbox version for those who wish to stay in test mode.
All APIs are now set in "published" mode, meaning that you can subscribe to the APIs.
Read more about the APIs in the documentation published on our Developer portal.
