Société Générale Professionnels Open Banking API Access
Société Générale Professionnels is the business-banking arm of one of France's largest banks, serving self-employed professionals, artisans, and small companies. If you need to pull balances and transactions from your professional accounts into your own tools, open-banking.io gives you a clean, standards-based route without wrestling with eIDAS certificates or building a PSD2 stack yourself.
open-banking.io is a zero-knowledge, certificate-free aggregation service covering 2,600+ banks across the EU and UK. Your data is encrypted with a key generated on your own device and decrypted locally — the platform only ever holds your public key, so nobody server-side can read your Société Générale Professionnels statements.
How to connect Société Générale Professionnels
Connecting happens entirely in the open-banking.io dashboard — there is no API call, code, or key involved in this step:
- Sign up for an open-banking.io account.
- Set your encryption passphrase; your key pair is created locally in your browser.
- In the dashboard, pick Société Générale Professionnels and choose the business account type.
- You are redirected to Société Générale's own secure login to approve access under PSD2.
- Once you approve, your accounts sync back into your dashboard.
Société Générale Professionnels covers business accounts. There is no published BIC in our reference data for this profile, but you select it by name in the dashboard, so a BIC is not needed to connect. Each PSD2 consent lasts up to 180 days, after which you simply re-approve on the bank's screen.
Access your data
Programmatic access is an optional developer step you take after the account is linked. On the Developers page, create an API key and export a credentials.json — this 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. 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 — they never establish a new one.
Pricing is roughly EUR 3/month.
Do I need an eIDAS certificate?
No. open-banking.io is certificate-free; you approve access directly on Société Générale's consent screen.
Can open-banking.io read my account data?
No. It is zero-knowledge and stores only your public key. An API key alone returns ciphertext — readable data requires your private key, held only by you.
How often do I re-authorise?
Société Générale Professionnels consent lasts up to 180 days, then you re-approve on the bank's login page.
