Just check the order data and release the order by swiping. • Usable for all orders with TAN release. Whether transfers, submitting or changing standing orders, securitie or service orders and much more. LET'S GO AFTER ACTIVATION BY YOUR SPARKASSE You can start with the S-pushTAN app if you are registered for the pushTAN procedure and have got your personal registration letter. 1 - Apply for the pushTAN procedure or switch from your previously used procedure at the online branch of your Sparkasse. 2 - Download the S-pushTAN app to your iPhone or iPad for free. 3 - As soon as you have received the registration letter from your Sparkasse, start setting up the S-pushTAN app. SAFETY • The S-pushTAN app communicates exclusively encrypted via tested interfaces and ensures secure data transfer according to German online banking requirements. • Access to S-pushTAN is protected by a password you have chosen and optionally by Touch ID or Face ID. • The app automatically locks after a short period of time, which means that your data is secured as much as possible even if the iPhone or iPad gets lost. • The German TÜV confirms these highest safety standards.
