Good to know:
It is recommended to first download the PDF forms to your computer, after which you can enter the information into the text fields. Some banks also use digital forms, the links to which can be found in the table.
With the bank connection authorization form, the bank account owner authorizes Finago to perform the data transfer functions required for payment traffic. These are needed to transfer payment data from Procountor to the bank and to fetch bank statements from the bank into Procountor.
Finago Oy does not have rights to the funds in the account; we act solely as an intermediator for payment materials.
Aktia has discontinued support for Procountor's instant payment method as of October 20, 2026. More information can be found here.
Note! We use Blob Storage document management to maintain files in the user manual. It is safe to open links starting with “Blobonecsa..” in the Procountor user manual.

**Nordea recommends using the digital authorization whenever possible, as it is safer and faster. For limited liability companies, sole traders, general partnerships and limited partnerships, Nordea only accepts the digital authorization available on Nordea’s website. Instructions for completing the digital form are available here. Note! Only the company’s EUR accounts can be included in the authorization. For opening or changing services related to foreign currency accounts, please contact Nordea.
*Instructions for filling out the PDF form can be found here. The form must be sent to [email protected]. Note!

OP-Pohjola Group | *Instructions for filling out the PDF- and Word -form can be found on the second page of the document. Please note that the channel in the form field Data transfer channel user ID (e.g. Web Services channel) is not selectable in Procountor. In Procountor, select WS customer number 1000064472, so that payments will be directed to the correct channel 1000074813. -- **The Digital form - link takes you to OP's page where you can fill in a digital power of attorney to open and change payment services. Making a digital power of attorney requires identification, and you can identify yourself with the credentials of OP or other Finnish banks. The authorized signatory of the company or association must sign the authorization. The signer will receive a notification by e-mail when it is ready to be signed. OP processes the power of attorney within a week of signing. -- Please note! Due to an error on 25.11.2022, Osuuspankki WS channel 1000064472 has changed. Customers using WS channel 1000064472 have been transferred to use WS channel 1000074813. This change doesn't require any action from Procountor users. Even though the old WS channel number is still shown in Procountor, payments are directed to the new WS channel 1000074813. New WS channel has been updated to bank connection authorization. -- | |

It should be noted that if the bank account balance feature is activated by the bank to such company that already has a bank connection authorization with Procountor, the bank account balance feature can be activated with the same intermediary details the company has been using in Procountor. The forms that are available above feature the newest intermediary details such as the newest available web services channel but the older details can be used as well if the company so prefers. The company should however discuss this with their bank.

Frequently asked questions
Does Procountor charge for the bank connection authorization, making payments, and fetching bank statements?
No, it does not. Banks have their own fees related to payments and bank statements, and you can get more information about them by inquiring directly with your bank.
How do I know when I can start making payments from Procountor?
Once the bank has notified you that the bank connection authorization has been processed and the services have been opened for use.
Can I connect a private individual's account to Procountor with a bank connection authorization?
Generally speaking, banks cannot authorize a third-party software house to handle the payment material of private individuals, but you can still inquire about this with your bank.
Does the bank connection authorization form need to be submitted to Finago Oy in addition to the bank?
No, it does not. It is sufficient to deliver it to the bank, as Finago only acts as an intermediator of payment material.
