  3. Click the "Manage" button in the "photoTAN" line.
  4. Then select "New activation letter".
  5. Select "Approval with photoTAN" and click "Continue".
  6. Approve your order with a photoTAN.

In the Corporate Banking Portal - photoTAN not activated

  1. Log in to the Corporate Banking Portal.
  2. Select "Profile & Settings" in the upper-right navigation of the Corporate Banking Portal and click on "photoTAN".

Further Information

  • If you have previously requested a letter and no longer have it, an order directly via the TAN administration is not possible. Alternatively, you can order by telephone or via the branch.
  • When requesting a new activation letter, via the Corporate Banking Portal or in the branch, it will be sent to you by post.
  • Keep your activation letter as you will need it if you want to activate the photoTAN app on a new device.
