Dortmunder Volksbank Open Banking & API Access

Reach your Dortmunder Volksbank accounts through a single, privacy-first workspace. open-banking.io links to Dortmunder Volksbank eG (BIC GENODEM1DOR) under PSD2, covering both business and personal accounts, so balances and transactions land in one dashboard you fully control. Because the service is certificate-free and zero-knowledge, your financial data is decrypted only on your own device with a key nobody else — not even open-banking.io — ever holds.

How to connect Dortmunder Volksbank

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

  1. Sign up for open-banking.io and set your encryption passphrase. Your keys are generated locally on your device.
  2. In the dashboard, search for Dortmunder Volksbank and choose your account type (business or personal).
  3. You are redirected to Dortmunder Volksbank's own secure login and consent screen, where you approve access directly with the bank.
  4. Once approved, your accounts sync back into the dashboard. Consent stays valid for up to 180 days, after which you simply re-approve.

The bank authenticates you and grants the consent — open-banking.io never sees your Dortmunder Volksbank credentials.

Access your data

After the connection is live, developers can optionally read the data programmatically. On the Developers page, create an API key and export a credentials.json — this bundles your API key together with your private decryption key. From there use the CLI (openbanking accounts, openbanking transactions, openbanking sync), an SDK, or the REST API. Requests carry the X-Api-Key header, and every response is decrypted locally with your own key. The API key alone only ever returns ciphertext; without your private key, the data stays unreadable. The CLI and SDK read and sync existing connections only — they cannot connect a bank.

All of this runs for around EUR 3/month, with no eIDAS certificates and no server-side access to your plaintext.

Does open-banking.io store my Dortmunder Volksbank login?
