Direct integration

Direct integration is when the ERP system and the online bank send and receive files between each other, without you having to upload and download files manually.

With direct integration, you can have accounting-approved payments or re-authentication in the online bank.

Many people have questions about

What are Accounting-approved payments?

DNB offers accounting-approved payments which makes it easy for you to approve the payments directly in the accounting system in a safe way and comply with the regulatory requirements.

Using pre-approved payments, you don’t need to approve the payment files in the corporate online bank and most accounting systems facilitate this.

Watch a short video about this concept here:

DNB explains accounting-approved payments (1:37 mins, Norwegian)

Note: In order to approve the payment files in the accounting system, your ERP/finance system must support pre-approved payments.

How to get started with pre-approved payments

Give accountants access to accounts

There are two different ways to give access to your accountant:
1. The accountant will be added as a new user in your corporate online bank. The administrator in your corporate online bank must enter the new user under ‘Administration’ - ‘Manage users’.
  Note: The administrator needs the national identity number of the new user (the accountant).
2. The accountant applies for account authorisation so that accounts are available in their online bank. Both the authorisation holder and the authorisation grantor can apply for this through an authorisation scheme.
  Note: To use this method, the accountant must already be a customer/have corporate online banking in DNB.

What is required to start using accounting-approved payments?

Before you can start using accounting-approved payments, certain criteria must be in place.

The accounts must be registered as part of a DNB corporate customer account.

The person in charge of approvals must have a user in the corporate online bank and have rights in that account.
Everyone who wishes to have approval rights must have a BankID.

Tip! Not all ERP systems support accounting-approved payments when there are two approvers on the account. If your system does not support this, see “re-authentication in the online bank”
