Caja Rural de Gijón Open Banking & API Access

open-banking.io gives you a private, unified view of your Caja Rural de Gijón accounts without wrestling with eIDAS certificates or building against a raw PSD2 gateway. This Asturian cooperative bank (part of Grupo Caja Rural, BIC BCOEESMM007) is one of 2,600+ European institutions you can link, covering both business and personal accounts. Everything is decrypted on your own device with a key only you hold — our servers never see your balances or transactions in the clear.

How to connect Caja Rural de Gijón

Connecting happens entirely inside the open-banking.io dashboard — there is no API call, code, or key involved in linking your bank.

  1. Sign up for an open-banking.io account.
  2. Set an encryption passphrase. Your keys are generated locally on your device, so the passphrase never leaves it.
  3. In the dashboard, pick Caja Rural de Gijón and choose the account type you want to link — business or personal.
  4. You are redirected to Caja Rural de Gijón's own secure login (via the Ruralvía platform) to approve access under PSD2. You authenticate directly with the bank; open-banking.io never sees your credentials.
  5. Once approved, your accounts sync straight into your dashboard. The consent lasts up to 180 days, after which you simply re-approve on the bank's screen.

Access your data

Once Caja Rural de Gijón is connected, developers can optionally read the 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 carry your key in the X-Api-Key header, and every response is decrypted locally with your own key. Note the CLI and SDK only read and sync connections you have already made in the dashboard — there is no connect command. An API key on its own returns nothing but ciphertext without your private key.

Is open-banking.io really certificate-free?

Yes. You never obtain or manage an eIDAS/QWAC certificate. Consent is granted directly on Caja Rural de Gijón's login screen, and open-banking.io holds only your public key.

What does it cost?

Around EUR 3 per month for full access to your connected accounts and the developer tooling.

Can open-banking.io read my Caja Rural de Gijón data?

No. The service is zero-knowledge. Data is encrypted to a key generated on your device, so only you can decrypt your balances and transactions.
