Access VR Bank Lausitz Data: Open Banking & API

Pulling your VR Bank Lausitz balances and transactions into your own tools normally means wrestling with PSD2 certificates and eIDAS onboarding. open-banking.io removes that barrier: it links to VR Bank Lausitz (BIC GENODEF1FWA) through the regulated open-banking rails, and every byte that comes back is decrypted on your device with a key only you hold. The service already reaches 2,600+ EU and UK banks, so VR Bank Lausitz sits alongside the rest of your financial estate in one dashboard.

Both business and personal VR Bank Lausitz accounts are supported, and a single consent stays valid for up to 180 days before the bank asks you to re-approve.

How to connect VR Bank Lausitz

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 your encryption passphrase. Your key pair is generated locally, so open-banking.io only ever stores your public key.
  2. In the dashboard, search for VR Bank Lausitz and choose the account type you want to link — business or personal.
  3. You are redirected to VR Bank Lausitz's own secure login and consent screen, where you authenticate and approve access directly with the bank.
  4. Once approved, your accounts and transactions sync back into your dashboard, refreshing automatically within the consent window.

Access your data

Want the data programmatically? That is an optional developer step after the connection exists. On the Developers page, create an API key and export a credentials.json — it bundles the API key with your private decryption key. From there the CLI (openbanking accounts, openbanking transactions, openbanking sync), the SDKs, or the REST API let you read everything. Requests carry your key in the X-Api-Key header, and each response is decrypted locally. An API key alone only ever returns ciphertext — without your private key it is unreadable, even to open-banking.io.

The whole service is zero-knowledge and certificate-free, and costs around EUR 3/month.

Does open-banking.io ever see my VR Bank Lausitz balances?

No. Data is encrypted to your key; the servers hold only your public key and encrypted blobs.

Can I connect a VR Bank Lausitz account from the CLI?

No. Connecting is done in the dashboard; the CLI and SDKs only read or sync existing connections.

How long does access last?

Up to 180 days per consent, after which you re-approve on VR Bank Lausitz's screen.
