Genossenschaftsbank Weil im Schönbuch API & Open Banking

Genossenschaftsbank Weil im Schönbuch (BIC GENODES1GWS) is a Baden-Württemberg cooperative bank whose account data you can reach through open-banking.io — a certificate-free, EU/UK open-banking service covering 2,600+ institutions. Whether you hold a business or personal account, you link it once and keep a live, read-only view of balances and transactions. What sets open-banking.io apart is its zero-knowledge design: the encryption keys are generated on your own device, so your financial data is decrypted locally and never legible to the service's servers.

How to connect Genossenschaftsbank Weil im Schönbuch

Connecting happens entirely in 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 private key is created locally on your device from that passphrase.
  2. In the dashboard, search for Genossenschaftsbank Weil im Schönbuch and choose your account type (business or personal).
  3. You are redirected to Genossenschaftsbank Weil im Schönbuch's own secure login, where you approve access under PSD2 consent. This consent can last up to 180 days, after which you simply re-approve.
  4. Your accounts sync back into the dashboard, ready to view.

Because the flow runs through the bank's own screens, open-banking.io never sees your banking credentials.

Access your data

Reading the data programmatically is an optional step for developers — only after the connection above exists. On the Developers page, create an API key and export a credentials.json, which bundles your 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 carries your key in the X-Api-Key header, and each response is decrypted locally with your own key. An API key alone only ever returns ciphertext — without your private key, nothing is readable, which is what makes the whole system zero-knowledge.

All of this runs for roughly EUR 3/month, with no eIDAS certificates or QWAC to obtain.

Is there a connect command in the CLI?

No. The CLI and SDKs only read and sync connections that already exist. You always link Genossenschaftsbank Weil im Schönbuch in the dashboard first.

Can open-banking.io read my transactions?

No. The servers hold only your public key. Your data is decrypted on your device with a key only you possess.

Up to 180 days per approval, then you re-authorize on Genossenschaftsbank Weil im Schönbuch's consent screen.
