NORD/LB API Access & Open Banking Data | open-banking.io

Norddeutsche Landesbank (NORD/LB) is one of Germany's major Landesbanken, serving corporate, public-sector and retail clients across Northern Germany. If you want programmatic, ongoing access to your NORD/LB account and transaction data, open-banking.io gives you a certificate-free path that keeps every byte encrypted with a key only you hold.

Unlike raw PSD2 integrations that demand eIDAS certificates and bank-by-bank onboarding, open-banking.io covers 2,600+ EU and UK banks — NORD/LB included — behind a single dashboard and a single subscription. Your data is decrypted locally on your own device, so the service itself never sees it in the clear.

How to connect NORD/LB

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

  1. Sign up at open-banking.io and set an encryption passphrase. Your key pair is generated right there on your device; only your public key ever leaves it.
  2. In the dashboard, pick NORD/LB from the bank list and choose your account type — both business and personal accounts are supported.
  3. You are redirected to NORD/LB's own secure login, where you approve access under PSD2. open-banking.io never sees your banking credentials.
  4. Your accounts sync into the dashboard. NORD/LB grants consent for up to 180 days, after which you simply re-approve on the bank's screen.

Access your data

Once your NORD/LB accounts are connected, reading the data programmatically is an optional developer step. From the Developers page, create an API key and export a credentials.json — this bundles the API key together with your private decryption key. Then use the CLI (openbanking accounts, openbanking transactions, openbanking sync), an SDK, or the REST API directly.

Every request carries 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 payload stays unreadable. NORD/LB's BIC, NOLADE2HXXX, identifies the institution in your synced records.

Do I need an eIDAS certificate for NORD/LB?

No. open-banking.io is certificate-free. You approve access on NORD/LB's own consent screen and skip the entire certificate process.

Can open-banking.io read my NORD/LB data?

No. The service is zero-knowledge — it stores only your public key. Decryption happens on your device with a key that never leaves it.

How much does it cost?

Around EUR 3 per month covers access to NORD/LB and every other supported bank, with no per-connection fees.
