Eihbank API Access & Open Banking Integration

Reaching your Eihbank accounts programmatically no longer means chasing PSD2 certificates or standing up your own eIDAS setup. open-banking.io gives you a single, certificate-free path to Eihbank's business and personal account data — balances and transactions flow into a dashboard you control, encrypted with a key that never leaves your device. Eihbank (Europäisch-Iranische Handelsbank AG, BIC EIHBDE21XXX) is one of 2,600+ EU and UK institutions reachable this way.

Because open-banking.io is zero-knowledge, its servers only ever hold your public key. Everything you actually read is decrypted locally, so the service can facilitate the connection without ever being able to see your Eihbank statements.

How to connect Eihbank

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

  1. Sign up for open-banking.io and set an encryption passphrase. Your key pair is generated right there on your own device.
  2. In the dashboard, search for Eihbank and choose the account type you need — business or personal.
  3. You're redirected to Eihbank's own secure login, where you approve access under PSD2 consent. Your credentials go only to the bank.
  4. Once approved, your accounts sync into the dashboard. Consent lasts up to 180 days, after which you simply re-approve on Eihbank's screen.

Access your data

After the connection is live, developers can optionally read it programmatically. Open 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 use the CLI (openbanking accounts, openbanking transactions, openbanking sync), an SDK, or the REST API directly.

Every request carries your key in the X-Api-Key header, and each response is decrypted locally with your private key. The API key alone only ever returns ciphertext — without your key, nobody, including open-banking.io, can read it. The CLI and SDK read and sync existing connections; they never create the connection itself.

All of this runs for roughly EUR 3/month.

Do I need an eIDAS certificate for Eihbank?

No. open-banking.io is certificate-free — the dashboard consent flow handles PSD2 access on your behalf.

Can open-banking.io see my Eihbank transactions?

No. It stores only your public key; decryption happens on your device with a key only you hold.

How do I keep access active past 180 days?

Eihbank consent maxes out at 180 days. When it lapses, reconnect in the dashboard and re-approve on the bank's login screen.
