Danske Bank exposes an open banking API built on the UK Open Banking standard, covering account information (AIS), payment initiation (PIS) and confirmation of funds (CBPII). Beyond the regulated UK Open Banking baseline it also offers 6 premium API categories: real-time balances, instant payments, cross-border & high-value, payment tracking, FX & hedging and confirmation of payee.
Access uses OAuth 2.0 with redirect SCA, over a REST interface. A self-service sandbox lets you build and test before you apply for production access.
The API is offered in Denmark, Finland, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Norway, Poland and Sweden. BankSnipe rates Danske Bank's API maturity 5/5 (Mature), last reviewed 2 Nov 2026.

Notes
Danske Bank's developer portal splits into regulatory and premium APIs. The regulatory side runs two suites: UK Open Banking for UK customers and PSD2 for Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Norway, Poland and Sweden. The portal states that both are built on the UK Open Banking standard, extended where needed for the other countries, so this is not a Berlin Group implementation. Regulatory products cover account and transaction data, payment initiation, confirmation of funds, event notifications and payment baskets. Six premium APIs sit on top for corporate customers. A seventh, the Payment Collection API, handles Finvoice e-invoice exchange, which falls outside this catalogue's premium categories.
Danske Bank API: frequently asked questions
Does Danske Bank have a public API?
Yes. Danske Bank publishes regulated PSD2 open banking APIs covering account information (AIS), payment initiation (PIS) and confirmation of funds (CBPII), plus premium APIs beyond that baseline. Registration and documentation live on its developer portal at https://developers.danskebank.com.
Does Danske Bank offer an API sandbox?
Yes. The sandbox is self-service, so you can sign up and start calling it without a commercial agreement in place.
Which open banking standard does the Danske Bank API use?
UK Open Banking: the API standard mandated for UK banks. Two banks on the same standard can still differ in the details, so read the bank's own documentation before you build.
How do you authenticate with the Danske Bank API?
OAuth 2.0, with redirect SCA for the customer consent step. Production access to the regulated endpoints also means registering as a licensed third-party provider with the bank.
Does Danske Bank offer premium APIs beyond PSD2?
Yes. We have recorded 6 premium categories on Danske Bank: real-time balances, instant payments, cross-border & high-value, payment tracking, FX & hedging and confirmation of payee. These sit above the regulated UK Open Banking baseline and are the ones corporate treasury teams tend to care about.
Which countries does the Danske Bank API cover?
Denmark, Finland, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Norway, Poland and Sweden.
Is the Danske Bank API free to use?
Banks generally do not charge licensed third-party providers for the regulated open banking endpoints, which is the point of the mandate. Premium APIs above that baseline are commercial products priced by the bank. BankSnipe does not track pricing, so confirm it with the bank.
How mature is the Danske Bank API?
BankSnipe scores it 5 out of 5 (Mature). The score counts how many of the four product signals are live: AIS, PIS, CBPII and premium APIs beyond the regulated UK Open Banking baseline.
