Open Banking

New opportunities with Open Banking

 - Handelsbanken.se

Handelsbanken has a strong presence wherever we have our operations, in the form of both personal meetings and digital services. New regulations and new technology generate increased openness and data sharing. This opens up opportunities to work with other parties to strengthen our local and digital presence, thus generating customer benefit and new types of offerings. We develop these collaborations based on our in-depth knowledge of our customers’ expectations.

We aim to find partners that share our values of commitment, customer care, simplicity and trust. Together, we can deliver long-term value to our customers. Therefore, it is important that we, as always, have security as our top priority, continually developing and refining our security solutions.

What is Open Banking?

Open Banking is an ecosystem for financial services where technology leads the way. Within it, key parties are able to access the banks' customer data and services (through APIs) to build applications that our customers can benefit from. 

In addition, Open Banking allows us as a bank, through partnerships, to launch innovative services for our customers more efficiently.

What is an API?

An API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of procedures and protocols for building software applications that defines how software components should interact. These can, for example, be used for different devices, such as computers, smartphones and tablets. 

The APIs provided by Handelsbanken will make it easy for fintech companies and other third parties to interact with us and develop services for our mutual customers.
