Yes! chipTAN QR is the simplest and most secure procedure since online banking was invented. The Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) also confirms that the chipTAN procedure is secure.

The technology of the girocard has been further developed. This is why the new girocard is no longer compatible with the optic TAN generators.

In online banking, instead of the flicker code, you only need to take a photo of the QR code displayed with your TAN generator (this is the image with the black squares). It’s lightning fast and totally convenient.

No, the new card technology will only be issued gradually. All new cards (including those from other banks) are expected to be equipped with the new technology from mid-2022 and will therefore no longer work with chipTAN optic-TAN generators.

Never dispose of in household waste! You must dispose of used TAN generators as old electrical appliances (electrical waste) and separately from the batteries they contain. We recommend disposing of it at a recycling center or an appropriate collection point in your city or municipality.
