Swedbank Gateway
Swedbank, with the help of its partners, helps you to automate, improve and simplify your accounting processes. Now you can get all your payments into the accounting software quickly. This means getting paid faster, making sure your suppliers are happy and your books are up to date.
Swedbank Gateway – Connection between Erply Books and Bank
Since October 2023, the connection has been renewed between the accounting software and the bank. To use the renewed version Swedbank Gateway connection, both new and already using clients, must sign the Swedbank Gateway contract (guide below).
With Swedbank accounting you can use professional accounting software that is integrated into Swedbank’s e-bank and, if needed, use our accounting partners to get the best accounting experience.
ERPLY Books accounting software operates Swedbank accounting that synchronises all bank transactions automatically from Swedbank. In addition, it sends your payments to Swedbank with one click. This means your everyday business banking is as quick as possible.

Swedbank Gateway configuration
How does the integration work more precisely?
- ERPLY Books synchronises bank transactions and if it can link payments with invoices and/or accounts, then it saves the payments and creates transactions.
- Without any user-specific rules ERPLY Books can connect about 80-90% of the payments with invoices and accounts.
- By adding rules you can automate up to 100% of the process.
- Now, sending payments to the bank means just clicking “send to bank”. You don’t have to download or upload any files. NB: ERPLY Books only sends payments to the bank – someone in Swedbank has to verify the payment manually.
- By using our invoice approval process in the purchase inbox, you can get a purchase invoice created automatically by ERPLY Books and use the email confirmation to send it straight to the bank.
Configuration
To create the ERPLY Books – Swedbank integration, go to Swedbank website and select Swedbank Gateway under Everyday banking.
Select: ”Sign a contract”
In the agreement general conditions, select ERPLY as the operator.
Then set the settings preferences you want:
NB: The transaction notifications function costs 10 EUR per month! If you don’t want it, the monthly fee for using Swedbank Gateway is EUR 0.
Be sure to choose a periodic account statement – without it, you won’t get the previous day’s statement every night.
The internet bank will then direct you to sign the contract. You can sign the contract using Smart-ID, Biometrics/PIN code, Mobile ID, ID card or PIN calculator.
After signing the contract, the contract ID, or contract number, will be displayed in the Internet bank. Copy this value and in ERPLY Books go to settings -> integrations and next to Swedbank select “manage”. Later, you will see the contract ID when you go to the Swedbank Gateway page again – there you will find existing signed contracts.
NB: after signing the contract in Swedbank, please wait two minutes before connecting in Books.
In the drop-down window, add the contract ID (contract number) and the connection will be established:
If the software gives an error message, there is a chance that you have the wrong registry code. At the same time, if you have used Books before and you have the wrong registration code under the company data, you can only change it through the help desk at support@erplybooks.com.
Now when a new connection is created, the system automatically ends the old connection when the new is activated.
