There are different login methods in each bank, which you can use to log in to e-banking. So the login method is just the way you log in to your e-banking account.
In this article we have compiled and explained the main login methods.
What is M-Tan?
M-Tan is an authentication method that usually generates a one-time password and used mainly in e-banking. You receive this password by SMS or MMS on your cell phone.
If you log in to your e-banking account, you receive the access data via M-Tan if you receive an SMS or MMS on your cell phone.
What is an E-Finance ID / a card reader?
With the card reader you have a security card (AccessCard /Challengekarte), which you insert in the card reader for authentication from your bank. Then you have to enter a number generated by your bank's e-banking system on the card reader and, depending on the bank, confirm additionally by entering your PIN. The card reader then generates a code that you enter in your e-banking account for authentication.
What is MobileID?
To be able to use MobileID you need a smartphone and a SIM card that supports MobileID. In addition, your bank must support login via MobileID. If you have activated MobileID, you will receive a confirmation request on your cell phone as soon you log in to your e-banking with your user information.
What is an RSA key?
The RSA key is a small hardware device that automatically generates a new number at regular intervals. After successfully entering your username/contract number and password you have to enter this number in your e-banking account for authentication.
What is a matrix card?
The matrix card is a card that you received from your bank. For authentication, the bank asks you for a code in a particular part of this card. You enter the respective number for authentication.
