Star Finanz GmbH

About this app

Play it safe: With the S-pushTAN app, you get your Sparkasse's secure authorization process on your phone or tablet. Use pushTAN for online banking, an advanced, mobile security process.

IT'S EASY
• When banking online on your smartphone, tablet, or computer, you place and submit your orders there.
• The S-pushTAN app always shows you the order details. You check the data and approve the order easily and simply – that's it.
• Can be used for all orders that require a TAN or authorization: transfers, submitting or changing standing orders, securities and service orders, and much more.

GET STARTED AFTER ACTIVATION BY YOUR SAVINGS BANK
You can start using the S-pushTAN app once you are registered for the pushTAN process and have received your personal registration letter:
1 - Apply for the pushTAN process at your savings bank or switch from your current process to the pushTAN process online at your savings bank's online branch.
2 - Download the S-pushTAN app for free to your smartphone or tablet.
3 - Start setting up the S-pushTAN app as soon as you receive the registration letter from your savings bank.

SECURITY
• The S-pushTAN app communicates encrypted via tested interfaces. It ensures secure data transfer in accordance with German online banking regulations.
• Access to S-pushTAN is protected by a password of your choice and, optionally, by fingerprint or facial recognition.
• The app automatically locks after a short period of time. This ensures maximum security for your data, even if you lose your smartphone or tablet.

NOTES
• To use S-pushTAN, you need activation from your Sparkasse and your registration data for initial setup.
• To use the latest version of the app, you need at least Android 6 on your smartphone or tablet.
• If your smartphone or tablet is rooted or is using a beta version of the operating system, S-pushTAN will not run on it. The important high security standards for the mobile banking we offer cannot be guaranteed on compromised devices.
• The current version requires the use of your device's system keyboard; custom keyboards are not supported. In the device settings, set the keyboard to "Standard" or "Default" or "System Keyboard."
• Please do not deny any of the requested permissions for S-pushTAN during setup, as these are necessary for the app to function properly.
• The app is free of charge, but its use may incur charges. Please refer to the information provided by your savings bank.

Ratings and reviews

Terrible app as others mentioned already. I'm surprised how it got 4+ stars. I can't enable biometric approval method - toggle just doesn't respond. Custom keyboard of the app is inaccessible because some buttons are hidden behind the system bar at the bottom - landscape mode isn't supported, and password cannot be pasted from clipboard either. The only workaround is to split the screen vertically, which is inconvenient. I wish I could give 0 stars.

Horrible unnecessary app that forces you to use the horrible standard keyboard of your device, because they block certain other keyboards for safety (I use GBoard a keyboard by Google, so saying it's for security is ridiculous). When your keyboard is blocked they provide you one on their own which however is completely unusable because the numbers are hidden under your task bar. Why we can't just merge this app with the normal Sparkasse App is also beyond me.

the stupidity behind the design of the default keyboard is utterly amazing... they do not even put numbers into the default keyboard and ask us to have secure passwords... and to "fix" the problem, they tell people to change the keyboard of their device. Why would people give up on their customization and do that just for your app?
