Overcoming Digital Banking Access Challenges
⚠️ Forgot PIN or account locked (Verfüger gesperrt)
Cause: You have either forgotten your eBanking PIN or entered it incorrectly too many times, leading to your account being locked for security reasons.
Solution: We know being locked out is stressful. The fastest way to regain access is to use the Self Service page on the BAWAG website. This dedicated service allows you to reset your eBanking PIN securely and unlock your account. Follow the instructions provided there to set a new PIN.
⚠️ BAWAG App access issues
Cause: Problems with your App PIN, or the app itself is locked.
Solution: You can reset your App PIN directly within the app if you recall your eBanking credentials. The app also offers a function to unlock your app access if it has been temporarily restricted. Look for the 'App Passwort zurücksetzen' or 'App Zugang entsperren' options.
Fortifying Your Online Financial Security
- 🔒 Always remember that BAWAG will never ask you for your Verfügernummer, PIN, or TANs via email. Treat such requests as suspicious.
- 🔒 Be vigilant about phishing: Do not click on links or open attachments in suspicious emails. If you receive a questionable email purporting to be from BAWAG, forward it immediately to [email protected].
- 🔒 Regularly review the security rules provided on the BAWAG website to stay informed about current threats and best practices.
- 🔒 Change your eBanking or App PIN periodically. You can do this conveniently in the 'Sicherheitsverwaltung' (security management) section of your eBanking portal.
- 🔒 For enhanced security, the BAWAG app is designed not to function on 'Rooted Devices.' Ensure your mobile device's operating system has not been modified.
- 🔒 When using the app for login confirmation, be aware that you will not receive a push notification for security reasons. You must actively open the app and tap the bell icon to approve.
