DNB, Norway’s largest bank, is to upgrade its domestic payments from its current RBS infrastructure to the unified Payment Initiation (PIN) Platform.

The bank said the move will simplify its payment infrastructure, enabling greater economy of scale, standardisation and future-proofed relevant capabilities.

The company added that the upgrade will allow for better integration with its technological infrastructure and supports future payment standards and APIs.

The migration will begin in 2026, with completion expected by the second half of the following year.

To carry out the changes, DNB has signed an extended agreement with financial SaaS provider Tietoevry Banking.

The existing RBS infrastructure, which processed more than 370 million payments in 2024, was also operated by Tietoevry Banking.

The current contract is valid until 2030, with the option to extend the collaboration by a further two years.

Customers will continue experiencing the same availability, while DNB said it will gain the ability to respond faster to market needs and strengthen real-time monitoring capabilities.

“We have worked closely with DNB for many years, and this agreement continues to build on that trust and collaboration,” said Mario Blazevic, managing director, Tietoevry Banking. “Through this transition, DNB will benefit from our scalable platform developed specifically for the Norwegian banking market, enabling DNB to develop new services on top of the new platform. We are pleased to be part of this journey with them.”
