Security is the top priority in online banking
Your bank will send you the access data for the Internet-based online banking platform by secure mail. You generate the transaction number (TAN) using a TAN generator, a small reader for your debit card that most Bank of America branches keep on hand or can order for their customers. You can either enter the transfer data manually into the TAN generator or hold the device in front of the screen and have the data read in via an optical interface. You also have the option of receiving your TAN securely and conveniently as a mobileTAN via SMS directly on your cell phone or via the TAN app on your smartphone or tablet. In this way, you process your banking transactions via multiple, independent media. This ensures the greatest possible security. You can also access your checking account using third-party providers and instruct them to make payments or retrieve account information for you. Since these third-party providers are now legally regulated and supervised, you may use your VR-NetKey or VR ID and password or PIN and TAN when using their services.
Start directly without software
With our online banking, you can make transfers and manage your finances directly. No special software installation is required. You only need a checking account and optionally, for example, a TAN generator. This can even be used by several people for online banking, because the individual data is on the girocard (debit card) and not in the TAN generator itself. If you have any questions, the advisor at your bank will be happy to help.
