Activation of the bank integration can take one to three days after the agreement is established.

To request an agreement

The ISO agreement is the prerequisite for any direct communication setup with Swedbank or Sparbankerna. To start the onboarding process:

  1. Contact your bank representative at Swedbank or Sparbankerna by phone or email to initiate an ISO Agreement for the Continia Banking solution.
  2. Sign the agreement on paper or by e-signature.
  3. After the agreement is completed, the bank emails the following details to your contact email:
    • Payment Agreement (B-avtal) – Bank Agreement Number
    • Reporting Agreement (R-avtal)
    • Additional key information, including the corporate ID, contact email, and bank agreement number

Hinweis

If you are onboarding multiple legal entities, this information can differ per company. Always confirm you have the correct data for the correct company. An incorrect match will prevent the connection from being established.

    • Contact Email- must match the email address used in the ISO agreement.
    • Company Name - must be entered exactly as registered with the bank.

After setup, the status displays as one of the following:

  • Pending - the bank has not yet activated the connection (allow 1 to 3 days), or the information entered does not match the bank's records exactly. Check the Corporate ID, Contact Email, and Bank Agreement Number fields.
  • Active - the integration is complete. You can now export payments and import bank statements through Continia Banking.
