Targobank: Set up easyTAN & mTAN - how it works

With easyTAN and mTAN, Targobank offers you two new TAN procedures, as the old TAN list has finally been used up. Setting up the new TAN procedure has made the Targobank quite comfortable, so that you have completed the changeover quickly.

Targo Bank mTAN procedure: Register and set up

If you would like to be activated for the Targo Bank's mTAN procedure, you only need a cell phone. A smartphone is not absolutely necessary for the mTAN process.

• The mTAN procedure is free of charge for you. As soon as you have registered for the procedure, you can basically use your online banking again without restriction.
• After you have logged into your Targobank account, you will be asked to enter a TAN. To do this, use one of your "old" TANS.
• Then select your "Personal data" in the main menu and then click on "Contact data" in the navigation bar.
• In the "Personal data" menu, select the "Change personal data" option. If you have not already done so, enter your cell phone number in the cell phone number area. It is important to activate the "mTAN activation" option directly under the mobile phone number.
• Confirm your details by clicking on the corresponding button and then make it known that you accept the Targobank terms and conditions.
• Finally, confirm your entry again by entering one of the old TANs from your list. The iTANs have finally had their day.
• If you need a TAN for your transfer in the future, Targobank will send it to you via SMS.

easyTAN for online banking - how to set up the digital TAN

Just as for the mTAN process, you must first register with the Targobank for the easyTAN process. You can only use the easyTAN procedure after you have registered. Like the mTAN procedure, the easyTAN procedure is free of charge for you.

• You need a smartphone and an app for the easyTAN process. The free Targobank mobile banking is available for both Android and iOS.
• After you have installed the app, enter the same access data, user name and password as for your online banking. You can then use the Targobank app immediately.
• To register for the easyTAN process, click the "Register a new device" button. Then assign a name to your smartphone. Alternatively, use the name that Targobank suggests.
• By clicking on the "Register now" button, which you will find at the bottom right, register for the easyTAN procedure.
• As soon as you have confirmed the name, enter an iTAN from your old TAN list.
• Finally, enter a six-digit release code that you will remember well, because nobody else knows the code. You will use the six-digit release code later for your online transactions.
