Volksbank Hohenlimburg API Access & Open Banking

Reach the balances and transactions of your Volksbank Hohenlimburg accounts through a single, privacy-first workspace. open-banking.io links to this Hagen-based co-operative (BIC GENODEM1HLH) over regulated PSD2 access, covering both business and personal accounts. It is certificate-free — you never generate eIDAS certificates or wrangle sandbox credentials — and it is zero-knowledge: your data is decrypted on your own device with a key only you hold, so our servers only ever see ciphertext against your public key.

How to connect Volksbank Hohenlimburg

Connecting happens 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 set your encryption passphrase. Your key pair is generated locally on your device at that moment.
  2. In the dashboard, search for Volksbank Hohenlimburg and choose the account type you need (business or personal).
  3. You are redirected to Volksbank Hohenlimburg's own secure login, where you approve the PSD2 consent directly with the bank.
  4. Once approved, your accounts sync back into your dashboard. The consent stays valid for up to 180 days, after which you simply re-approve on the bank's screen.

No credentials ever pass through us, and the bank remains the only party that authenticates you.

Access your data

After a connection exists, developers can optionally read it programmatically. Open the Developers page, create an API key, and export a credentials.json — this 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. Every request carries the X-Api-Key header, and each response is decrypted locally with your own key. The CLI and SDK only read and sync connections that already exist — they never create one. An API key on its own returns nothing but ciphertext; without your private key, the data stays unreadable.

All of this runs on the flat subscription of roughly EUR 3/month, with no per-call fees.

Do I need a developer account to connect?

No. Anyone can link Volksbank Hohenlimburg in the dashboard and view accounts. The API key is only for those who also want programmatic access.

Can open-banking.io read my Volksbank Hohenlimburg data?

No. The platform is zero-knowledge and holds only your public key. Decryption happens on your device, so we never see your transactions in the clear.

Which account types are supported?

Both business and personal Volksbank Hohenlimburg accounts, each with consent lasting up to 180 days.
