Bankgirot integration (Swedish Autogiro & Bankgiro Inbetalningar)

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Overview
Iteras has a native integration with Bankgirot (Sweden) for:

  • Autogiro — Swedish direct debit (roughly equivalent to the Danish Betalingsservice in when you can submit payment requests).

  • Bankgiro Inbetalningar — automatic registration/reconciliation of incoming payments to your Swedish Bankgiro number in Iteras.

Terms: OCR = payment reference. Uttökad blankettregistrering = “Extended form registration”.

How setup works

Setup is done through your bank. Ask them to enable Autogiro and Bankgiro Inbetalningar for your company with Iteras as the receiving system.

What the bank will ask for (use these exact settings)

  • Number of OCR digits: Do not choose a fixed number (allow variable length).

  • OCR reference control: Hard control (without length check).

  • Preferred file type: BGX (text file, not image).

  • Extended form registration (Uttökad blankettregistrering): Must be enabled to avoid payments without a reference.

  • Iteras Service Bureau Number: 941067

If the bank proposes image-based files or fixed-length OCR, decline and insist on BGX and variable-length OCR to ensure correct matching in Iteras.

After activation

  • Your invoices will show how to pay via Bankgiro and how to sign up for Autogiro for automatic payments.

  • Incoming payments are auto-registered in Iteras via Bankgiro Inbetalningar.

  • Autogiro payment requests can be submitted according to Bankgirot’s windows; upon approval, collections are processed automatically.

Copy-paste request to your bank

Please enable Autogiro and Bankgiro Inbetalningar for our company’s Bankgiro.
Parameters:
• OCR digits: no fixed number (variable length)
• OCR reference control: Hard control (without length check)
• File type: BGX (text)
Uttökad blankettregistrering: enabled
• Iteras Service Bureau Number: 941067

Troubleshooting

  • Payments missing references: Confirm Uttökad blankettregistrering is enabled.

  • Rejected/failed matching due to OCR length: Ensure variable-length OCR and hard control (no length check) are set.

  • Wrong file format: Switch to BGX (text).
