We’re excited to announce a new bank integration with one of Sweden’s most important financial institutions: Swedbank. This means even more automation, flexibility, and simplicity for finance teams working across systems, banks, and borders.
What’s the Aritma-Swedbank integration all about?
With this launch, Swedbank – along with all 57 independent savings banks it supports – joins the growing list of banks connected to the Aritma Open Finance Platform. The integration enables seamless data exchange between Swedbank and Aritma.
This means businesses can finally automate key financial processes like:
- Outgoing payments
- Incoming payments
- Reconciliation
- Balance retrieval
Best of all, the integration is ERP-independent – so no matter which system you’re using, Aritma helps you automate your Swedbank data.
Why this integration matters – especially right now
This isn’t just another integration. It’s a game-changer for finance teams that want more control, less manual work, and a future-proof setup.
It’s also been one of our most requested bank integrations – and we’re thrilled to finally make it available.
It’s Finally Live
After months of preparation and anticipation, the new integration is live – something Per Brugge, Senior Partner Executive at Swedbank has long looked forward to:
– I am super-happy to finally see this very much awaited integration go live. We have seen a great demand for Aritma’s solution among our medium- to large-sized corporate customers using a multitude of different ERPs to which we haven’t (yet) launched turnkey ERP integration.
He also highlights the strategic value of the collaboration, especially in light of the broader transition away from legacy systems:
– We’ve actively looked for a partner that could offer both a way to communicate with the bank and convert files – to help customers move away from Bankgirot’s old formats and over to new, modern standards like ISO 20022. These are important tools in our migration toolbox, and I’m impressed by what I have seen from Aritma so far. I look forward to continuing and deepening our partnership with them.
Helping businesses through the Bankgirot-phase out
The phase-out of Bankgirot has created a real headache for many Swedish companies, especially those relying on outdated formats and manual processes.
Our new integration with Swedbank offers a much-needed solution – making it easier to automate payments, reconciliation, and get real-time bank data. It also helps businesses transition to the ISO 20022 standard quickly and smoothly, helping companies stay compliant and reduce internal workload.
Looking ahead, Per Brugge at Swedbank underlines the scale and urgency of the upcoming migration effort – and the critical role partners like Aritma will play:
– Tens of thousands of companies are still using Bankgirot’s old file formats, but before autumn 2026, they’ll need to switch to ISO 20022 and start communicating directly with the bank – or through partners like Aritma. Kudos to the team at Aritma for having worked so hard to be able to deploy this new integration in time for the work we now start with a major customer migration.
A big milestone for Aritma
For us, this launch marks a major milestone: With Swedbank and the independent savings banks onboard, Aritma now offers full bank coverage across Sweden. That makes it easier than ever for businesses to streamline financial operations – no matter their size, system, or structure.
The launch is about more than just compliance – it’s about helping businesses work smarter:
– We’re excited to finally make this available. With the Bankgirot transition underway, this integration helps Swedbank customers not only stay compliant but actually improve their setup by automating manual processes”, says Ruben Skrede, Solution Architect at Aritma.
Who benefits from this?
Whether you’re a local business or a multinational group, the integration with Swedbank helps you automate manual tasks and gain real-time access to your bank data – no matter what accounting system you are using.
It’s especially beneficial for:
- Finance teams looking to automate payments and reconciliation
- CFOs, accountants and controllers looking to future-proof their financial operations with flexible and ERP-independent tools.
- Enterprises and agencies operating in Sweden and across multiple countries, entities, banks or systems.
And with Aritma Finance Manager launching soon, you’ll be able to connect your Swedbank data – along with accounts from other banks – to one central platform.
This means smarter financial management and deeper insights across all your bank accounts in the Nordics – all in one place.
A one-stop shop for all the banks in the Nordics.

Here’s how it works:

2. Aritma will then connect your business to our platform via API or plug-and-play, depending on your ERP system.
Most customers begin by simply getting in touch with us, and we’ll guide you through every step – including how to activate the agreement inside Swedbank.
