Protecting Your Online Financial Transactions
- π Always use the S-pushTAN-App for secure transaction authorizations, often leveraging biometric identification like fingerprint or facial recognition for enhanced protection.
- π Never share your login credentials such as Anmeldename, PIN, or TAN for supposed test transfers, maintenance work, security updates, sweepstakes, or refunds. Your Sparkasse will never request this information in such contexts.
- π Be highly suspicious of phishing attempts delivered via phone, email, SMS, or messenger that ask for confidential details like IBAN, PIN, TANs, or credit card data, or those that direct you to fake Sparkasse websites.
- π Avoid opening unknown files or installing software from unverified sources, as these can contain viruses or malware designed to compromise your data.
- π Choose a strong, unique PIN and change your initial PIN immediately after your first login. Do not use easily guessable combinations like your name or birth date.
- π Refrain from saving your login information on your computer, smartphone, or within your browser's password manager.
- π Be aware that European PSD2 regulations require an additional TAN verification every 180 days when logging into online banking, adding an extra layer of security.
- π Always verify the presence of 'https' and a closed padlock symbol in your browser's address bar to ensure an encrypted and secure connection.
- π If you receive any suspicious communication appearing to be from Sparkasse, forward it immediately to [email protected] for verification and investigation.
- π Stay regularly updated on current security warnings and fraud attempts published by the Sparkasse Computer Emergency Response Team to protect yourself from evolving threats.
