What data you can access
Once consent is granted, open-banking.io exposes the Sparkasse Bochum data your product needs:
- Accounts — both business and personal account details.
- Balances — current and available balances in real time.
- Transactions — historical and incoming transaction records for reconciliation, categorisation, and reporting.
Consent and coverage
Sparkasse Bochum supports a maximum consent window of 180 days, after which the end user simply re-authorises to keep the connection alive. Both business and personal account types are covered, making open-banking.io suitable for accounting platforms, treasury tools, lending checks, and personal-finance apps alike.
Privacy by design
open-banking.io is zero-knowledge: your users' banking credentials are never seen or stored by us, and data flows straight through to your application. The service is also certificate-free — there are no eIDAS certificates to buy, register, or renew, removing one of the biggest hurdles to going live with PSD2 access.
Pricing
Access starts at roughly EUR 3 per month, a flat and predictable cost with no per-call surprises and no enterprise contracts needed to get started.
