About this app

The "S-ID-Check" app is a security tool for using your Sparkassen credit card on the Internet. With one click, you can release payments from online purchases. You can register directly in the app and e.g. Identify via your online banking access at the Sparkasse. Registration and payment approval are designed according to the latest security requirements for credit card payments on the Internet.

In detail:

If you have installed the "S-ID-Check" app on your mobile device, you will receive a push message in your app when paying online with a credit card. This prompts you to confirm or reject the payment. This ensures that so-called Verified by Visa and MasterCard Identity Check payments are only approved by you (3-D Secure).

An advantage for you: You have your payments under control. You will receive a message when you use your Sparkasse credit card to shop at a retailer that offers the 3-D Secure process. You can compare the payment details from the app with the data of your purchase and decide whether the payment can be made or not. So the fraudulent use of your credit card on the Internet is almost impossible. The "S-ID-Check" app offers you maximum security and convenience for your payments on the Internet.

Ratings and reviews

It is not possible to use the app on more then one smartphone at the same time for the same card. Very good is that it's possible to register online. Before I was terrified when I thougth about being abroad and being not able to book a flight or hotel any more. I resently lost the content of my userspace on one of my fones and I don't know how to backup this app's data!

No matter what I do, I am completely unable to buy things with pages that require this app. It's infuriating. Occasionally I'll get a push notification, sometimes I just won't. If I'm very lucky it might even show me my order details in the app, but when I click to confirm nothing happens. Most of the time, when I click on the push notification I just get sent to the regular menu screen. Restarting the app doesn't help. Trying to generate an OTP gives me an error on the website.

I have to keep uninstalling and re-installing this. The app says it is not authentic. As a result, I have to keep re-registering my credit card. That is also a security risk, in case a key-logger is on the mobile. Please fix this. It is unspeakably annoying. I check for updates, but there are none pending. When the app works, I can purchase things online.
