• Balances — booked and available balances, refreshed on demand.
• Transactions — dated, categorisable transaction records with counterparties and remittance details.

Consent and coverage

Access is authorised under PSD2, with a maximum consent window of 180 days before the account holder re-confirms. Sparkasse Vest Recklinghausen sits alongside every other German Sparkasse in the directory, so multi-bank setups behave identically no matter which institution your users bank with.

Privacy by design

open-banking.io is zero-knowledge: we never store your customers' banking credentials, and account data passes through without being retained on our side. Because the platform is certificate-free, you skip the QWAC/QSEAL overhead that traditionally gates PSD2 access — your team ships instead of chasing paperwork.

Pricing

One flat plan of roughly EUR 3/month covers Sparkasse Vest Recklinghausen and the full 2,600+ bank network. No per-connection fees, no tiered surprises.
