CBC API Access — Sync Belgian Bank Data Securely

Connecting to CBC (BIC CREGBEBB) no longer means wrestling with eIDAS certificates or bank-by-bank onboarding. With open-banking.io you plug into CBC through one unified API and start syncing live Belgian banking data into your product, spreadsheet, or accounting workflow within minutes.

Whether you track a personal budget or reconcile business ledgers, the same endpoint serves both CBC account types. You get clean, structured data pulled straight from the source, without screen-scraping or manual CSV exports.

How to connect CBC

1. Create your open-banking.io account and grab an API key.
2. Call the connect endpoint and select CBC from the Belgian bank list.
3. Redirect the account holder to CBC's own login for strong customer authentication.
4. Receive the consent token and begin pulling data immediately.

What data you can access

• Accounts — IBANs, currency, and metadata for personal and business profiles.
• Balances — real-time available and booked balances.
• Transactions — dated, categorisable transaction history with counterparties and references.

Consent and coverage

CBC consent under PSD2 lasts up to 180 days before the account holder re-authenticates, so you can automate recurring syncs across nearly six months per approval. CBC is one of 2,600+ banks reachable through the same open-banking.io integration — build once, expand across the EU and UK without new plumbing.

Privacy by design

Our architecture is zero-knowledge: credentials go directly to CBC, never through us, and we never store the data flowing between you and the bank. It is also certificate-free — no QWAC or QSEAL to purchase, renew, or manage. You own the connection; we simply route it securely.

Pricing

One flat rate of roughly EUR 3/month covers CBC access alongside the entire bank network. No per-call surcharges, no enterprise minimums, no certificate fees hidden in the fine print.

FAQ

Does CBC support both personal and business accounts?

Yes. open-banking.io exposes both CBC personal and business account types through the identical set of endpoints.

How often do I need to renew CBC consent?

CBC consent is valid for up to 180 days. After that window the account holder re-authenticates once to continue uninterrupted syncing.

Do I need an eIDAS certificate to use CBC?

No. open-banking.io is certificate-free, so you skip QWAC/QSEAL entirely and connect to CBC with just an API key.
