We have previously announced that from 15 November 2026, cross-border payments and several other payment types will become view-only in Corporate Netbank. The payment types are already available to manage on Nordea Corporate, and we encourage you to start making these payments on Nordea Corporate now.
Shortly after 15 November 2026, postal addresses in SWIFT payment types will change from unstructured format to structured format in Corporate Netbank and Nordea Corporate. The change is part of the payment industry’s transition to more structured data, helping improve payment routing, processing and security.
Which payment types are affected?
The following payment types will gain structured address fields in Corporate Netbank and Nordea Corporate in November 2026 (the timing may vary between countries):
Denmark (Nordea Corporate)
- Cross-border payment (”Overførsel til udlandet”)
Finland (Nordea Corporate)
- Cross-border payment (”Ulkomaan maksu”)
- Financial payment (”Finanssimaksu”)
Norway (Corporate Netbank)
- Cross-border payment (”Utlandsbetaling”)
- Express payment (“Hastebetaling”)
- Financial payment
Sweden (Corporate Netbank)
- Cross-border payment (”Utlandsbetalning”)
- Financial payments: S-D-V cross-border payment (“S-D-V utlandsbetalning”) and S-D-V domestic other bank (”S-D-V inrikes övr bank”)
- Other bank SE foreign currency (”Inrikes övr bank utl valuta”)
- Currency transfer Nordea SE (”Inom Nordea SE utl valuta”)
The following payment types on Nordea Corporate will gain structured address fields later:
- Request for Transfer (all countries)
- Financial payment (Denmark) (”Finansiel betaling”)
What will change?
You will see new postal address fields wherever address information is used for a payment. This includes payments, payment templates, saved recipients (”beneficiaries” in Corporate Netbank) and recipient bank details. When creating or updating any such item, instead of providing addresses in free-text lines, you will need to enter the relevant information in separate fields. Only the information required for the payment needs to be provided; optional fields will be clearly marked.

In connection with the structured address changes, the fields ”Alternative ordering customer's name” and ”Alternative ordering customer's address” will be removed for the following Danish payment types in Corporate Netbank:
- Intercompany transfer via the Danish central bank (“Koncernoverførsel via Nationalbanken”)
- Transfer via the Danish central bank (“Overførsel via Nationalbanken”)
- Intragroup trf other banks (“Koncernovf til andre banker”).
What you need to do
To ensure uninterrupted access to payment workflows in Corporate Netbank and Nordea Corporate, update your payment templates and saved recipients (beneficiaries) with address information in structured format once the structured address fields have been made available.
Please note:
- Company templates with locked fields are especially important to update as soon as possible after the structured address fields have been enabled, as users with limited account rights depend on the updated address information to be able to make payments using those templates.
- Payment templates: Update the address information in your company and personal templates to avoid having to re-enter the address every time a payment is made using the template.
- Saved recipients (beneficiaries): Update the address information in your saved recipients to avoid having to re-enter the address every time a payment is made using the saved recipient information.
You do not need to update any existing payments – payments already entered with unstructured address information will still be executed successfully. However, we recommend updating any recurring payments to use structured address information, as the structured format will eventually become a strict requirement in SWIFT’s payment routing (expected 2027).
Danish file import changes
As previously communicated, the Danish payment file import for international payments in Corporate Netbank will be discontinued on 15 November 2026.
Cross-border payments, SEPA payments and Requests for Transfer will no longer be possible to import via file in Corporate Netbank.
It will still be possible to import domestic Danish payments via file import after 15 November 2026. Importing domestic Danish payments will no longer be supported from 23 March 2027, when the Danish file import and the UTF/EDI4 format will be fully discontinued.
