Do it yourself
We have brought together our best tips for using the corporate online bank.
If you have administrator access in the online bank, you can create a new user yourself.
How to add a new user (2:06 mins, Norwegian)
Log in to the corporate online bank
Click on ‘Administration’ in the main menu. Below the tab ‘Privileges’, choose ‘Manage users’.
Here you’ll get four options. Tick ‘I’m an administrator and want to create a new user’.
Enter the national identity number, the name of the user and your contact information.
NB: If the user you’re trying to add has not had their identity registered in DNB, you’ll be advised of this and will be directed to another form to order identity registration.
When the user has completed the identity registration process, you can follow the steps above.
Authorisation is required to give or receive access to another company’s account. You can decide whether to give read-only access to the account, or whether the account can be loaded into another online bank.
How to give authorisation in the online bank (0:52 mins, Norwegian)
Click on ‘Account’ in the main menu. Under the tab 'Privileges', select ‘Give/Receive account authorisation’.
Fill out the information about the proxy or principal, the accounts the company will have authorisation to access, and which rights will be included in the authorisation.
Select whether the agreement should be signed with eSigning or manually. We recommend eSigning with BankID for the quickest process.
eSigning is sent out after one working day and the authorisation is ready one working day after the signing is complete.
When the user has been created, you can request that the person be given access as an administrator and/or orderer. If you have administrator access in the online bank, you can change users yourself.
How to change users (2:16 mins, Norwegian)
Click on ‘Administration’ in the main menu. Below the tab 'Privileges', choose ‘Manage users’.
Then tick ‘I want a user to be given administrator/orderer access (requires signature)’.
Enter the user ID of the person you want to change.
If you don’t know what the user ID is, you can find this by clicking on ‘Administration’ in the main menu and going to ‘Manage users’ under ‘Privileges’.
Then tick the option for signing with BankID for a faster process. We’ll then send out an eSigning over the course of the next working day.
The changes will be ready one working day after the signing is complete.
