How to achieve your first win with premium banking APIs
Hosted by Danske Bank at Treasury 360° Nordic, this panel brings together voices from across corporate treasury, banking and fintech to take a practical look at what premium API connectivity actually involves.
Heli Saukkola, Treasury Manager at Orion Pharma, Christie Holm Kristensen, Integration Partnership Manager at Danske Bank, Peter Murer, Global Head of Bank Partner Management at Siemens AG, and. FinanceKey’s Veikko Koski discuss what it takes to get started, where the common stumbling blocks are, and how the role of treasury is changing as automation takes hold.
The session draws on Orion Pharma’s experience piloting Danske Bank’s Premium Account Transaction and Balance API through FinanceKey.
Key takeaways
- Premium API connectivity can be less technical than most treasury teams expect
- Real-time data eliminates manual balance requests and decisions based on assumptions
- Small, consistent steps deliver more than large transformation projects
- Scope, ownership and internal buy-in are the most common stumbling blocks
- The future treasury function sets the rules; automation runs the processes
- The benefits of API connectivity reach beyond treasury into the wider business
“When the real-time data is there, why wouldn’t you use it? You can make decisions based on what’s actually there, not what you assume or expect.”
