Fortnox, one of Sweden’s most widely used platforms for small and medium-sized businesses, has chosen Open Payments as its partner for bank connectivity and payments. The partnership marks a key milestone for both companies — and for the future of integrated, automated financial workflows in the Nordics.

Fortnox Gears Up Its Financial Integrations

A strong customer focus has always driven Fortnox to deliver more value and simplify everyday work for businesses. As they set out to accelerate their financial services roadmap and build new digital payment experiences, they needed a partner that could provide a reliable and future-proof foundation.

This partnership will enable Fortnox to introduce innovative features that strengthen automation and deliver even more value to its users

“We’re incredibly proud that Fortnox has chosen us as their partner,” says Louise Brandt, CEO and Founder at Open Payments, and continues:

“It’s an important milestone in our mission to make business payments integrated, automated and effortless. With Fortnox, we can bring a new level of simplicity, efficiency and security to hundreds of thousands of companies.”

By integrating Open Payments’ enterprise-grade API platform, Fortnox will give its customers seamless access to bank accounts, real-time balances, and transaction data directly within Fortnox. It enables secure payment initiation without requiring users to log in to their bank or handle manual steps. In other words, Fortnox and its customers now have Banking Power.

‍Creating the Next Generation of Business Payments

For Fortnox’s approximately 600,000 companies and accounting firms, the partnership represents a major leap forward in efficiency and automation. Through Open Payments, users can:

• Connect their bank accounts directly inside Fortnox
• Access real-time account balances and transaction history
• Automate reconciliation and reduce manual administration
• Initiate and approve payments directly in the system
• Work more securely, with fewer handovers and no system-switching

This creates a smoother, more controlled payment experience- fully embedded in the workflow businesses already use every day.

A Strong Foundation for Future Innovation

The partnership also enables Fortnox to accelerate its financial services roadmap. With Open Payments as a foundational layer, Fortnox can continue to build new digital payment experiences and expand its offering of seamless financial flows.

“Open Payments is a natural partner for us,” says David Johansson Rabell, Product Manager for Financial Services at Fortnox.

“Their deep understanding of the Swedish banking ecosystem and broad coverage of payment services allows us to deliver smoother and more secure financial flows for our customers.”

Advancing Banking Power for Businesses

This agreement strengthens Open Payments’ position as the leading integration layer for corporate payments in the Nordics. It marks a major step toward making business payments fully integrated – or, put differently, time-saving, automated, and secure for businesses of all sizes.

With Fortnox and their approximately 600,000 Customers, Open Payments continues its mission to improve payments in a way that genuinely supports customers’ needs through Banking Power.
