Van Lanschot Belgium Open Banking & API Access

Van Lanschot is a private bank serving clients across Belgium under BIC FVLBBE22. If you want a clean, self-service way to reach your Van Lanschot account and transaction data — whether for a personal or a business relationship — open-banking.io gives you PSD2 access without certificates, eIDAS hardware, or a bank partnership. It covers 2,600+ European banks from one dashboard for roughly EUR 3 per month, and it is built to be zero-knowledge: your data is decrypted on your own device with a key that never leaves you.

How to connect Van Lanschot

Connecting happens entirely inside the open-banking.io dashboard — there is no API call, code, or key involved in this step.

  1. Sign up for open-banking.io and set your encryption passphrase. Your keys are generated locally on your device at this moment.
  2. In the dashboard, search for Van Lanschot (Belgium) and choose the account type you hold — business or personal.
  3. You are redirected to Van Lanschot's own secure login, where you authenticate and approve the access request. This is the standard PSD2 consent screen, and it lasts up to 180 days before you renew it.
  4. Once approved, your Van Lanschot accounts sync back into your dashboard automatically.

That's it — the account holder always approves directly on the bank's side, and open-banking.io never sees your credentials.

Access your data

Reading the data programmatically is an optional developer step that comes after you've connected. From the Developers page, create an API key and export a credentials.json — this bundles the API key together with your private decryption key. From there you can use the CLI (openbanking accounts, openbanking transactions, openbanking sync), an SDK, or the REST API. Every request sends the X-Api-Key header, and each response is decrypted locally with your own key. The CLI and SDK only read and sync connections you already made in the dashboard — they cannot create one.

Because open-banking.io holds only your public key, its servers store nothing but ciphertext. An API key alone returns encrypted bytes; without your private key it stays unreadable.

Does Van Lanschot need to approve anything?

Only you do — you approve access on Van Lanschot's own login screen. No bank agreement is required.

How long does access last?

Van Lanschot consent runs for up to 180 days, after which you re-approve from the dashboard.

Can open-banking.io read my transactions?

No. It is zero-knowledge; only your device holds the key that decrypts your data.
