- herbst 11y agoMy current bank has no mobile App (seriously). The only bank that has one where i can look at my account without TAN is the only bank here in Switzerland which is no actual Bank therefore also without the bank secret. I asked them what would happen if i did this, they told me this is reason enough to sue me.
- NKCSS 11y agoYou could write a web scraper that keeps a session alive to get around the TAN
- herbst 11y agoI feel like a noob right now that i havent thought about this. This wouldnt even break any logical rules my bank maybe has. I gotta try this. BIG THANK YOU!
- NKCSS 11y agoNo problem, glad I could help. It was nice thing to have, made me feel in control, while packing up my groceries after having paid in the checkout line, I'd get a Notifo push message from my watcher; I just wonder why it's not something all banks would do; I'm certain customers would love getting the notifications and it would help prevent or at least catch fraud quickly.
- herbst 11y agoabsolutely. i am doing this with my paypal and bitcoins as well. i really dont get why the fucking richest economy sector isnt able to do such basic things. (afaik germany and the uk have a standard for that tho)
