ChiantiBanca API Access & Open Banking Made Simple

ChiantiBanca, the Tuscan cooperative credit bank rooted in the Chianti hills, keeps your account and transaction data behind its own secure PSD2 gateway. open-banking.io gives you a clean, certificate-free way to reach that data — whether you bank personally, run a business, or want to pull statements into your own tools. There are no eIDAS certificates to buy, no bank-by-bank API contracts to negotiate, and no servers that can read what belongs to you.

The service covers 2,600+ EU and UK banks under one roof. Everything is decrypted locally with a key that never leaves your device, so open-banking.io holds only your public key and never sees your balances in the clear.

How to connect ChiantiBanca

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 right there on your own device.
  2. In the dashboard, search for and select ChiantiBanca, then choose the account type you hold — personal and business accounts are both supported.
  3. You are redirected to ChiantiBanca's own secure login, where you approve access (standard PSD2 consent). Your consent stays valid for up to 180 days before a simple re-approval is needed.
  4. Your accounts sync straight back into your dashboard, ready to view.

ChiantiBanca does not publish a public BIC for this flow, so you won't need one — the dashboard handles bank selection for you.

Access your data

Once ChiantiBanca is connected, developers can optionally read the data programmatically. On the Developers page, create an API key and export a credentials.json file — it 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. Without that private key, an API key alone returns only ciphertext — which is exactly what zero-knowledge means.
