Volksbank Seligenstadt API Access & Open Banking

Reach your Volksbank Seligenstadt (BIC GENODE51SEL) accounts through a single, privacy-first interface. open-banking.io links to Volksbank Seligenstadt under PSD2 and streams your balances and transaction history into one dashboard, covering both business and personal accounts. There are no eIDAS certificates to buy and no bank-side onboarding paperwork: because the service is zero-knowledge, your data is decrypted on your own device with a key only you hold, and open-banking.io's servers only ever store your public key.

How to connect Volksbank Seligenstadt

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 an open-banking.io account.
  2. Set an encryption passphrase. Your encryption keys are generated locally on your device, so nobody else can read what syncs.
  3. In the dashboard, search for and select Volksbank Seligenstadt, then choose the account type you need — business or personal.
  4. You are redirected to Volksbank Seligenstadt's own secure login, where you approve access on the bank's consent screen.
  5. Your accounts sync back into the dashboard, and refreshed data stays available for the consent window — up to 180 days before Volksbank Seligenstadt asks you to renew.

Access your data

Once Volksbank Seligenstadt is connected, developers can optionally read the same data programmatically. 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 use the CLI (openbanking accounts, openbanking transactions, openbanking sync), an SDK, or the REST API. Requests authenticate with the X-Api-Key header, and every response is decrypted locally with your own key. The CLI and SDK only read and sync connections that already exist; there is no connect command. An API key on its own returns ciphertext — without your private key, the data stays unreadable.

Does open-banking.io work with Volksbank Seligenstadt business accounts?

Yes. Both business and personal Volksbank Seligenstadt accounts are supported and appear in the same dashboard after you approve consent.

Can open-banking.io read my banking data?

No. The platform is zero-knowledge and holds only your public key. Decryption happens on your device with a key that never leaves it.

How long does access last before I re-approve?

Volksbank Seligenstadt permits consent for up to 180 days. After that you re-approve on the bank's consent screen to keep syncing.
