Preparing for Your Digital Banking Experience

• An active Sparkasse account is necessary to use online banking services.
• You will need a reliable internet connection for accessing the digital portal.
• Your Sparkassen-Card (debit card) is essential, especially for setting up and using TAN procedures like chipTAN or for identification purposes.
• For transaction authorization, you need to set up either the pushTAN or chipTAN procedure.
• If using pushTAN, download the S-pushTAN-App and ensure you have received your pushTAN registration letter and your online banking login details (Login name/ID and PIN).
• If opting for chipTAN, you will require a TAN-Generator which works in conjunction with your Sparkassen-Card.
• Ensure your web browser has JavaScript and temporary cookies enabled for optimal functionality of the online banking platform.

Accessing Your Sparkasse Hannover Digital Portal

1. Begin by navigating to the official Sparkasse Hannover website at www.sparkasse-hannover.de.
2. Locate and click on the "Online-Banking" button, typically found in the top right corner of the homepage.
3. On the login page, enter your personal Anmeldename (login name) or Legitimations-ID and your Online-Banking PIN into the designated fields.
4. If prompted, complete the login process by entering a TAN generated via your chosen method (pushTAN or chipTAN). This is a security measure, especially required every 180 days due to PSD2 regulations.
5. For first-time users, after entering the initial Start-PIN, you will be prompted to change it to a personal, secure PIN. This new PIN must be between 5 and 38 characters and can include numbers, letters, and special characters. Confirm this change with a TAN.

Regaining Access to Your Online Banking

Ensuring Secure Transactions and Account Integrity

• 🔒 Always use Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) through pushTAN or chipTAN to authorize your transactions. This adds an extra layer of security, ensuring only you can approve payments.
• 🔒 Never share your Online-Banking PIN or TAN with anyone. Remember, Sparkasse Hannover will never ask for this sensitive information via phone, email, or SMS. Be vigilant against any such requests.
• 🔒 Always verify the website address begins with "https://" and matches www.sparkasse-hannover.de before entering your login details. Look for the padlock symbol in your browser's address bar, indicating a secure connection.
• 🔒 Keep your operating system, web browser, and banking apps updated to their latest versions. Software updates often include critical security patches that protect against vulnerabilities.
• 🔒 Create a strong, unique Online-Banking PIN that includes a mix of numbers, letters, and special characters, and avoid reusing passwords across different services. Never save your login credentials in your browser or on your devices.
• 🔒 Exercise extreme caution with suspicious emails, SMS messages, or phone calls (phishing). Do not click on unfamiliar links, open attachments from unknown senders, or provide personal information. If you receive a suspicious message purporting to be from Sparkasse, forward it to [email protected].
• 🔒 Regularly review your account statements and transaction history for any unauthorized activity. Consider setting daily transaction limits to minimize potential losses in case of unauthorized access.
• 🔒 Avoid performing online banking transactions when connected to unsecured public Wi-Fi networks, as these connections can be vulnerable to eavesdropping.
• 🔒 Always use your personal, trusted devices for online banking. Avoid using shared or public computers for sensitive financial transactions.
• 🔒 In the event of loss, theft of your card, or suspicion of fraud, immediately block your Sparkassen-Card and online banking access by calling the national blocking hotline at 116 116 (available 24/7).
