Postbank online banking - how it works

Postbank Online Banking simply explained

Open the website of Postbank Online Banking and log in with your data.
This requires either a user name and password or an account number and PIN. In this case, the PIN is not the PIN you need at the ATM, but your online banking PIN.
Once you have logged in, you will see a countdown at the top right. This counts down eight minutes after each click on the website. If you are not active during this time, you will be logged out automatically. To log yourself out, click on the "Exit" button at the top right.
Furthermore, you can see the items Account overview, Turnover, Order lists, Service, Message box and Settings in the menu bar at the top. These are now explained in the following sections.

In the account overview you have an overview of all your accounts. So you can see your current account balances and recent transactions here.
On the right side you can make a transfer or a standing order (see picture).

In the sales you will find all account movements of the last 10 to 100 days. To change the displayed time span, slide the controller responsible for it to the right.
If you scroll down, you can download the sales as a PDF, CSV or XML file. There is also a link where you can access your account statements.
In addition to some transfers, you can see other setting options on the right-side, for example, objecting to direct debits or making a transfer again.

Under the order lists you will find all saved transfers, standing and saving orders.
You can also create these here.

In the service menu you will find answers to almost all of your questions. If this is not the case, various contact options are available there.
You can also make appointments, download orders and forms, and edit your contact details.

In the message box you will find all of your bank statements and messages from Postbank. You can view and download them here.
If you have not read an account statement online within three months, it will be sent to you by post. However, you have to pay the postage.

In the settings you will find numerous configuration options for your account.
Among other things, limits for debits can be set and new PIN numbers can be requested.
