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 shop with your Sparkasse credit card 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

The FAQ in the app says "Wenn Sie einmal keine Datenverbindung haben, können Sie Ihre Zahlung mit einem Offline-Passwort freigeben." but this functionality does not exist in the app. There is no way to generate an offline password. Also: most of the time I never get a push notification, so that my credit card is unusable. I have another banking app installed where I always get the notification, so it's not a problem with my phone.

There have always been issues with the app. I got a new credit card today and surprisingly, I now need to confirm every purchase in this app. But it doesn't work. I get no notifications, nothing to approve, there is no option for an offline password as shown in the screenshots. So now my credit card is totally useless.

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!
