Get started with our RestFX Market Order API!

RestFX Market Order is an API which is available to Swedbank customers conducting Foreign Exchange business with the bank. This means that there are a number of prerequisites that need to be met before the onboarding process for the RestFX Market Order service can be finalised and the API can be accessed:

  • FX Trade: Swedbank customers also need to be FX Trade customers.
  • RestFX Market Order customer agreement: “Villkor för Valutahandel RestFX Market Order” needs to be signed.


Whether you are already a customer of the bank or not, we strongly advise you to reach out to: prior to initiating the onboarding for help with these preparatory steps. Once these things are in place, the onboarding for the API is easy and we will support you all the way!

  1. Step 1

    Register in the Swedbank Developer portal if you have not done so already.

  2. Step 2

    Create an application for the Market Order and assign the Market Order API to this Application.

    You can start with the Sandbox version of the API to get warmed up or go straight to the production version!

    Documentation and API specifications are available online in both Swagger and PDF formats.

    See Developer Documentation for Swedbank RestFX on Open Banking.

    Please note that for the production version of the service a Qualified Website Authentication Certificate (QWAC) is mandatory and needs to be approved by Swedbank.

  3. Step 3 - Ready for production?

    To finalise the set-up for the production API, send an e-mail to: openbanking@swedbank.com with a request to have the Client ID/API Key obtained in step 2 activated for the RestFX Market Order service.

    Once the request is processed, you are good to go!
