How Arbejdernes Landsbank is connected
| Channel | Bank Connect, the web service Danish banks share |
| Data centre | BEC |
| Registration number | 5301 |
| BIC | ALBADKKK |
| Part of | AL Sydbank, since 8 December 2025 |
| The agreement | Ordered from Arbejdernes Landsbank |
| From the bank | Agreement ID (formerly function ID) and an activation code |
| Certificate | Issued by BEC at activation, renewed over Bank Connect |
Arbejdernes Landsbank became part of AL Sydbank on 8 December 2025, but technically it still works as a bank of its own. The connection therefore goes to the BEC data centre under Arbejdernes Landsbank's own registration number, 5301, not to Sydbank's connection on Bankdata. AL Sydbank has given no date for joining the systems.
There is no format description from Arbejdernes Landsbank itself. The payment files follow the rules every Bank Connect bank shares, with BEC's differences below. For accounts at Sydbank, see Sydbank.

How BEC behaves
| Positive status (pain.002) | No |
| Status when a user rejects in the web bank | Yes |
| Insufficient funds as a status | No |
| Payment dated on a non-banking day | Rejected |
| Creditor BIC on international payments | Required |
| Charge bearer on international payments | Required |
| “?” in international payments | Allowed |
| camt.054 debit and credit advices | Yes |
| camt.054 complete booked entries | Yes |
| pain.002 error texts | Mixed, narrative |
BEC never confirms an accepted payment with a status message, so we read the settlement from the end-of-day statement (camt.053). A payment dated on a weekend or holiday is rejected, and international payments must carry the recipient bank's BIC and the charge bearer.

Questions
- How do we connect Arbejdernes Landsbank to our ERP?
- Over Bank Connect. You order a Bank Connect agreement from Arbejdernes Landsbank and receive an agreement ID and an activation code. You enter them in BankConnector and the connection is activated; BEC issues the certificate. We already have Arbejdernes Landsbank's registration number, 5301.
- Which payments can we send from Arbejdernes Landsbank?
- The payment types are domestic account transfer, express transfer (straks), FIK payment, SEPA credit transfer and international payment. Payments go out as pain.001.001.03, and the bank's answers and statements come back as pain.002 and camt. SEPA Instant is not offered yet.
- How far along is BankConnector with Arbejdernes Landsbank?
- Supported
- Which data centre does Arbejdernes Landsbank run on?
- BEC. BEC sends no positive status for an accepted payment, so settlement is read from the end-of-day statement, and it rejects a payment dated on a non-banking day.
- Should we use Sydbank's connection now that the bank is part of AL Sydbank?
- No. As long as Arbejdernes Landsbank technically works as a bank of its own, you order the Bank Connect agreement from Arbejdernes Landsbank, and the connection goes to BEC under registration number 5301.
- Why is there no positive status on our payments?
- Because Arbejdernes Landsbank runs on the BEC data centre, and BEC sends no status message when a payment is accepted. We read the settlement from the end-of-day statement (camt.053) instead.

Five steps to a live Arbejdernes Landsbank connection.
You do not need to know what any of the codes above mean. Our setup guide walks you through it one screen at a time.
- 1
Order Bank Connect from Arbejdernes Landsbank
The agreement comes from the bank, not from Bank Connect. The bank will ask which statements you want, and whether payments are approved in its web bank or before they are sent. Our setup guide tells you exactly what to answer.
- 2
Enter the agreement ID and activation code
Arbejdernes Landsbank issues an agreement ID and a separate activation code. Those two values are all the setup form needs; we already hold the bank's registration number.
- 3
Activate
One press. We fetch the data centre's certificate, send a certificate request with your activation code, and store the certificate the data centre issues.
- 4
Choose your approval policy
Decide who approves payments before they leave, and the connection switches on.
- 5
Go live with one small payment
Start with one small payment and follow it all the way to your statement. Payments go out as pain.001 and status and statements come back as pain.002 and camt. We alert you well before the certificate expires.
