Hello, I've been having trouble opening my pushTAN for a while now. I get the following message: "Your S-pushTAN app needs to be updated. To do this, restart the app." The app is up to date, and I've re-downloaded it several times. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?
My husband is worried about how much interest he has to pay each month on an overdraft that's down to -4700. He's with a savings bank and had his overdraft raised to -4700, almost using it up to the last euro. How much interest does he have to pay each month?
Today I took part in an alleged Lidl competition. Now in retrospect I know that it was stupid and that I should have left it alone However, I did not enter into a contract, I only provided my account number. Can it happen that my account is emptied? Do I need a new account number?
Hi, I wanted to ask if I can pay online with a Sparkasse card (girocard), for example, Amazon, etc., since I can't get a credit card because I'm only 12.
No new Maestro cards will be issued in the future. This (worldwide) debit system then runs gradually. The (European) competition system VPay will also expire. It is to be assumed that the card issuers instead issue cards with the Visa Debit or Debit Mastercard functionality. These are “credit card-like” systems that bring in particular an online functionality.
Hello,
no reaction yet. My cards are still running until 2027, so the next time does not change for me.
Then I have to wait to see what solution for the future my bank will introduce.
Best regards
Probably the Maestro function will no longer work.
Already issued Maestro cards should remain usable until the expiry of their validity.

Why do you need Maestro?
The function and use of the Girocard in Germany does not change, and there are alternatives for use abroad.
I think it’s a shame. I often pay with Maestro and don’t want to pay in the supermarket with credit card.
Yeah, I see.
Most likely you haven’t been in the supermarket Maestro but with the Girocard, and nothing changes.
No, I paid with Maestro.
I asked the other day at the supermarket if they would accept Maestro. The cashier said…
I don’t know what a card from which bank you actually have, but it is likely to remain usable until the end of its validity, and your bank will offer you a suitable successor product in time.
They are removed and replaced with a card with a credit card function. For me much more sensible, because it can be used without problems abroad.
Do you automatically get a new “maestro”-Girobank card from his bank as mine is still valid until 2025?
All Maestro cards retain their validity. There are no new ones
Then I can use the credit card right away.
Maestro is also available abroad. A debit card with credit card function? It’s a contradiction in itself. So fuck.
Exactly ☝️
That is what the questioner thinks would like to know if he gets something new in advance
Ergo will get rid of them.
has been replaced by ‘V-Pay’.
