Deutsche Bank photoTAN Customer Insights

1. Yet, with online banking we're still at the stage where you're positively surprised every time anything works at all.Comfort-log in doesn't work for my (never worked), it tells me to install the latest versuon, but I already have it.

2. If this app and the whole setup they've built were a car, it would not let you in, even if you had the key, and then drive off on its own, but in a polished marketing video, tell you how great it is, and promise to mail you a letter with the new start.I tried do a transfer, usually when I click on "execute code", it will do it automatically together with the PhotoTAN App.

3. Please fix this problem, it's annoying.Works great once you're set up but if you misunderstand this one button, I think its called 'beenden,' the app shuts down, and you will have to restart the entire activation process, including requesting a new activation letter.

4. This means that I don't have the right images provided by my online banking to go through the whole app activation procedure.

5. not only is this app a waste of time, but the procedure, as well as instructions and videos on the DB online site are outdated and inaccurate.

6. This has been going on for several months.App does not work and produces non-descriptice and unhelpful errors: "After scanning the photoTAN an error occurred.

7. But when I loaded the app again, it remains inactivated but the image security system to which this app is linked in my online banking is activated.

8. First, it took a long time to recognise the activation image.

9. After switching to a new phone, I reinstalled the app, but it is not possible to complete the activation process.

10. After scanning the activation graphic and entering my account details, the app just says "unable to complete activation, try again later".

11. Really great experience!!! Not!I wish it notified me every time I do a transaction.
