Raiffeisenbank Westeifel Open Banking & API Access

Reading your Raiffeisenbank Westeifel accounts programmatically usually means EBICS contracts, eIDAS certificates and a compliance review. open-banking.io removes all of that. It gives you PSD2-based access to Raiffeisenbank Westeifel (BIC GENODED1WSC) for both business and personal accounts, with consent lasting up to 180 days before you renew. Everything is encrypted end to end and decrypted locally, so only you can read the balances and transactions that flow into your dashboard.

How to connect Raiffeisenbank Westeifel

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. The key pair is generated on your own device; the servers only ever hold your public key.
  2. In the dashboard, search for Raiffeisenbank Westeifel and choose whether you are linking a business or personal account.
  3. You are redirected to Raiffeisenbank Westeifel's own secure login, where you approve access on the bank's official PSD2 consent screen.
  4. Once you confirm, your accounts sync back into the dashboard and stay up to date for the life of the 180-day consent.

Because approval takes place on the bank's side, open-banking.io never sees your online-banking credentials.

Access your data

Want the data in your own code? This is an optional step and only comes after the connection above exists. On the Developers page, create an API key and export a credentials.json — it 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 directly. Requests authenticate with the X-Api-Key header, and every response is decrypted locally with your key. The CLI and SDK only read or sync connections you already made in the dashboard — there is no connect command.

This is what zero-knowledge means in practice: an API key alone returns ciphertext, and without your private key nobody — not even open-banking.io — can turn it into readable data. No eIDAS certificate is required, and the service costs around EUR 3/month.

Is my Raiffeisenbank Westeifel login shared with open-banking.io?

No. You authenticate only on Raiffeisenbank Westeifel's own consent page; open-banking.io never receives your banking password.

Yes. Raiffeisenbank Westeifel supports both account types, each connected separately from the dashboard.

How long does access last?

Up to 180 days per consent under PSD2, after which you re-approve on the bank's screen to keep syncing.
