About this app

Raiffeisen E-Banking - simple, fast, secure!

Raiffeisen PhotoTAN is an innovative security tool for login and order approval in Raiffeisen e-banking. It can be used instead of the SMS-TAN. Raiffeisen E-Banking customers can activate Raiffeisen PhotoTAN in E-Banking (“Contract number”> “Settings”> “Security”> “Login method”). Instructions can also be found there.

Functionality:
With this procedure, Raiffeisen E-Banking encodes the login and order data in a colored mosaic. The colored mosaic is then photographed from the screen using the camera integrated in your smartphone. The data contained in the mosaic and the associated release code are decrypted and displayed on the smartphone by this app. By activating the PhotoTAN app once with a personal key mosaic, the mosaic displayed on the screen can only be decrypted using your smartphone.

If you use Raiffeisen Mobile Banking, the PhotoTAN app reads the code in the background on the same device and automatically returns it to Mobile Banking. There is no need to enter the additional code manually.

Your smartphone does not need an internet or telephone connection for this procedure.

Further information can be found at www.raiffeisen.ch/phototan

Since a few months, the app has been slow. Now when it vibrates after scanning the mosaic, there's always a 1- or 2-second delay, which is terribly annoying. The previous version didn't so that. Also, one should be able to use the front camera, in case the other one is broken. Would give 4 stars with the previous speed and 5 stars for the front camera feature.

Crashes on Android. Was simple and good when it worked. The recommendation to send a screenshot is, well, not very practical as the app disalows screenshots :-) ... Issue: Camera shows color matrix, then stops with unknown error. Android 9.0.6 on OnePlus 3T .... 27.Mai... immernoch defekt...

The previous system with a little card was more convenient and safer, since I could hide the card, while I might loose my phone everywhere. They say it is safer, but cannot explain why. Locking my phone is not an option I can consider.

Hello Gabriel Mercier. Thank you for your feedback. The safety of our customers is one of our greatest concerns. The security card is unfortunately no longer compatible with the latest login procedures and is no longer state of the art in terms of security. Best regards, Raiffeisen Switzerland
