Nordea API Market – your gateway to the API economy

FAQ – Frequently asked questions about APIs

How do APIs work?

An API (Application Programming Interface) is a software intermediary allowing two applications or systems to talk to each other. APIs allow third party systems and Nordea’s systems to communicate and automatically perform tasks that would otherwise be handled on separate platforms.

What is Nordea API Market?

Nordea API Market is Nordea’s marketplace for open APIs, offering both PSD2 originated APIs and commercial Premium APIs. At the API Market we have more than 6800 registered sandbox users and more than 400 companies accessing live API data across the Nordics, making more than 60 million API calls every month.

What is Nordea Open Banking?

Open Banking is the part of Nordea that provides access to Nordea's data through APIs – Application Programming Interfaces. Through the open banking platform, we interact with external parties, such as corporate customers, partners and licensed third parties, using the open API technology. This creates the possibility to develop and co-create new front-end products faster and to alter them more easily.
