Volksbank Anröchte API Access & Open Banking Data

Reaching your Volksbank Anröchte account data used to mean eIDAS certificates, sandbox registrations and PSD2 paperwork. open-banking.io removes all of that. It links your Volksbank Anröchte accounts (BIC GENODEM1ANR) through a single dashboard and keeps every byte encrypted with a key that never leaves your device. Whether you hold a personal or business account, you get clean, structured balances and transactions without operating any banking infrastructure yourself.

The service is zero-knowledge and certificate-free: our servers store only your public key, so we can carry your ciphertext but never read it. Decryption happens locally, under a passphrase only you know.

How to connect Volksbank Anröchte

Connecting is done 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 open the web dashboard.
  2. Set your encryption passphrase. Your key pair is generated right there on your own device.
  3. Choose Volksbank Anröchte from the bank list and select your account type — business or personal.
  4. You are redirected to Volksbank Anröchte's own secure login to approve access (standard PSD2 consent).
  5. Once approved, your accounts sync straight into your dashboard.

Your consent with Volksbank Anröchte stays valid for up to 180 days, after which you simply re-approve on the bank's screen to keep the data flowing.

Access your data

Already connected and want to automate? This step is optional and for developers. 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 use the CLI (openbanking accounts, openbanking transactions, openbanking sync), an SDK, or the REST API directly.

Every request sends the X-Api-Key header, and every response is decrypted locally with your own key. An API key alone only ever returns ciphertext — without your private key the payload stays unreadable, even to us. The CLI and SDK read and sync existing connections; they never create the Volksbank Anröchte link itself.

All of this runs from about EUR 3/month.
