This reflects a broader industry shift. According to PwC’s 2025 Global Treasury Survey, cash and liquidity management remain the top priorities for CFOs and treasurers, with 65% of organisations planning to expand API use in the coming years. Treasury teams are evolving from support functions into strategic decision-makers, requiring access to trusted, real-time data. 

“With our Premium APIs, we want to help financial teams predict the future, not just describe the past,” said Johan Wennerberg, Head of Cash Management at Danske Bank. “As part of our Forward’28 strategy, we are embedding financial services directly into the systems our customers already use. This approach is designed to make daily financial operations smoother, faster, and more resilient, enabling CFOs to make better decisions in a rapidly changing environment.” 

Real-Time Treasury at Scale 

As part of the integration, FinanceKey is piloting Danske Bank’s new Premium Account Transaction & Balance API, giving their joint corporate customers real-time visibility of liquidity across multiple accounts in a single dashboard. 

  • Access real-time data: Instantly view transactions and balances across Danske Bank accounts. 
  • Automate reporting: Save manual hours by streamlining liquidity reporting, cash flow analysis, and alerts.  
  • Strengthen decision-making: Gain immediate visibility into cash positions to drive healthier, data-led businesses. 
     

“Danske Bank’s boldness in embracing true collaboration is what sets this project apart,” said Macer Skeels, Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder of FinanceKey. “This is a real-world example of what happens when banks and fintechs stop talking and start building – not in isolation, but in collaboration with the financial teams who will use the technology. This is exactly the kind of approach the treasury technology ecosystem needs to deliver lasting value for customers.” 

Powering the Next Chapter of Financial Services 

This illustrates how financial services in the Nordic region are being reshaped by Premium APIs, real-time infrastructure, and ecosystem collaboration. Danske Bank’s integration services act as a single entry point for customers and third parties to seamlessly connect their systems with the bank – offering access to file solutions, regulatory APIs, and Premium API products that improve efficiency across payables, receivables, and reporting. 

“Through our Premium API pilot program, we’re co-developing solutions with customers and partners to ensure we address the real challenges financial teams face,” said Christie H. Kristensen, Integration Partnership Manager at Danske Bank. “This is how we support businesses in today’s data-driven economy: by providing the trusted infrastructure that enables smarter decisions.” 

By taking a platform-based approach and building a partner-led distribution model, Danske Bank is helping financial teams modernise operations and bridging the gap between finance and technology, breaking down data silos, and enabling agility.
