FinTS German Bank Institute Database

fints-institute-db is a JavaScript package providing a structured database of German banking institutes, primarily for use with FinTS/HBCI client applications. It contains crucial connection details such as Bankleitzahl (BLZ), Business Identifier Code (BIC), bank name, location, FinTS endpoint URLs (e.g., `pinTanURL`), and supported FinTS protocol versions. The current stable version is 0.16.0. The package typically receives updates as the German banking landscape changes (e.g., mergers, updated FinTS endpoints) or new data becomes available, making its release cadence data-driven. It serves as a static registry, differentiating itself by offering a readily consumable, open-source dataset specifically tailored for integrating with the German FinTS standard.
