Commerzbank photoTAN 9.4.2

Current information: Due to new protective features in the photoTAN app against the tapping of key material, the app requires the right to access the hardware identity as of version 9.0.0. This data remains on the device and is not transmitted to Commerzbank. Unfortunately, it is not possible to request this right individually. The overall right "Phone function and contacts" must always be requested (partly different designation depending on the Android version).

The right is absolutely necessary to use the app. Subsequent removal of the right can result in the app no longer being able to be used to control orders, as the keys are no longer available.

The push function of our new photoTAN app is particularly convenient. As soon as a new order is available for you to approve, we send you a notification to your smartphone when you use photoTAN-Push.
