SEB (Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken) is one of the leading banks in the Nordic region, offering a wide range of financial services to businesses and individuals. This article guides you through the process of setting up direct communication between SEB and Business Central, ensuring efficient and secure data exchange for smoother banking operations.

To prepare for direct communication through SEB

Before you can establish a connection with SEB, you must first establish an agreement with SEB to enable connectivity. Once the agreement is in place, SEB will provide you with the necessary login credentials to authenticate the connection and ensure secure communication.

To create an agreement in the SEB Business Arena:

  1. Log in to SEB Business Arena and navigate to Products and Services.
  2. Select Automatic bookkeeping – payments in ISO format and select Fill in and order.
  3. From the list of providers, choose Continia Software, select the Only on C&I Online checkbox and select Next.
  4. In the Before you connect dialog box, read the information and select Next.
  5. Select the accounts to connect by selecting Add account.
  6. Choose the accounts you want to connect and click Done. Repeat this step for each account, one at a time. Once all accounts are connected, select Next.
  7. Enter the Contact information and select Next.
  8. Review the details and select Apply.
  9. Sign with your Digipass. After signing, select Close. A message saying We have received your order will appear. It will now take up to 2 bank days for the agreement to be ready.
  10. Once SEB approves the agreement, the necessary information will be available in SEB Business Arena for you to complete the sign-up process in Continia Banking.

Before connecting to SEB, you must sign an additional agreement to access the File Handling Service (FHS) in C&I Online. This agreement is essential for viewing and authorizing payments in ISO format, as well as for uploading payment, salary, and direct debit files in various formats while allowing the download of comprehensive reporting files.

  1. Log in to C&I Online.

  2. On the action bar, navigate to Authorizations > Authorizations.

  3. Select Create new authorization.

  4. On the Agreement tab, in the Agreement field select FHS file signing.

  5. Assign a name to the authorization (for example, Signing of Payments) and select Continue.

  6. On the Services tab, select the services for the payments you want to sign and select Continue.

  7. On the Delimitation tab, we recommend selecting All present and future accounts and then select Continue.

  8. On the Users tab, select the condition (solely, two jointly, groupwise) and select Continue.

  9. Once the condition has been chosen, it is possible to add users. Select Add Users, select the users and select Continue.

  10. Review the information and select Save.

  11. Select Edit and Sign and put a checkmark on the agreement that needs signing.

  12. For single-user signing, select Sign and authenticate with Digipass. For multiple users, go to Authorizations > Edit and Sign.

    Once the agreement is signed, the new menu Sign Payments will appear under Payments.
