Volksbank Remseck API Access & Open Banking Data

Reaching your Volksbank Remseck (BIC GENODES1REM) accounts programmatically usually means wrestling with eIDAS certificates and PSD2 onboarding. open-banking.io removes that entirely: it is a certificate-free, zero-knowledge service covering 2,600+ EU and UK banks, so both your business and personal Volksbank Remseck accounts become available without any bank-side developer registration. Your data is encrypted with a key generated on your own device — the open-banking.io servers only ever hold your public key and can never read or decrypt what they store.

How to connect Volksbank Remseck

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 an encryption passphrase. Your private keys are created locally, on your device.
  2. In the dashboard, search for and select Volksbank Remseck, then choose the account type you want to link — business or personal.
  3. You are redirected to Volksbank Remseck's own secure login, where you approve access on the bank's official PSD2 consent screen.
  4. Once approved, your accounts and transactions sync straight into your dashboard.

Consent lasts up to 180 days, after which you simply re-approve on the bank's screen to keep the connection live.

Access your data

Programmatic access is an optional step that comes after the account is already connected. On 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 you can 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. An API key alone only ever returns ciphertext — without your private key, nobody, including open-banking.io, can turn it into readable data. Note that these tools read and sync existing connections; there is no connect command.

All of this runs at around EUR 3/month.

Do I need an eIDAS certificate for Volksbank Remseck?

No. open-banking.io is certificate-free — you never register as a PSD2 provider with the bank.

Can open-banking.io see my Volksbank Remseck transactions?

No. The service is zero-knowledge and stores only your public key. Decryption happens on your device with a key only you hold.
