Use this FAQ to find out more about our real-time payment routes for local DKK, SEK and NOK.
What information do I need to provide?
To send local NOK, SEK and DKK payments we need you to provide the locally formatted bank code and account number for all three currencies. Table 1 below shows you the format required.
You should be aware that it is not possible to break down the beneficiary account IBAN into the locally formatted details for SEK. This will create delays in your transition so please make the changes as detailed.
| Currency | Bank number | Account number |
|---|---|---|
| DKK | 4 digits | 4-10 digits |
| NOK | 4 digits | 7 digits |
| SEK | 4-5 digits | 1-15 digits |

How do I provide the KID (Kunde ID) for NOK payments?
The invoice number field can be used to provide the KID for both Currencycloud Direct and the Payments API. Supplying the KID is optional, but if provided, it must be between 2–25 digits.
Please note that the invoice number and invoice date fields are linked — while both are optional, if one is provided, both must be included.
