VR Bank Alsheim API Access & Open Banking Data

Reaching your VR Bank Alsheim accounts programmatically no longer means chasing PSD2 certificates or building your own bank connector. open-banking.io gives you one dashboard that links to VR Bank Alsheim (BIC GENODE51AHM) and keeps the data encrypted under a key that never leaves your device. Both business and personal accounts are supported, and a single approval covers up to 180 days before you renew.

Because the service is zero-knowledge and certificate-free, open-banking.io holds only your public key — it can move ciphertext around, but it can never read your balances or transactions. Decryption happens locally, on your machine, with a private key only you control.

How to connect VR Bank Alsheim

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 right there on your own device.
  2. In the dashboard, search for VR Bank Alsheim and choose the account type you need (business or personal).
  3. You are redirected to VR Bank Alsheim's own secure login, where you approve access on the bank's PSD2 consent screen — your credentials are only ever entered on the bank's site.
  4. Once approved, your accounts sync back into the dashboard and stay refreshed for the life of the 180-day consent.

Access your data

After a connection exists, developers can optionally read it in code. On the Developers page, create an API key and export a credentials.json that bundles the API key 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 every response is decrypted locally with your key — an API key on its own only ever returns ciphertext. The CLI and SDK read and sync existing connections; they never create one.

Do I need a PSD2 certificate?

No. open-banking.io is certificate-free — you approve access directly on VR Bank Alsheim's consent screen.

Can open-banking.io see my transactions?

No. It stores only your public key. Data is decrypted on your device with a private key it never receives.

How often do I re-approve?

VR Bank Alsheim consent lasts up to 180 days, after which you re-confirm access from the dashboard.
