Why and when do I need my photoTAN device?

The Second Payment Services Directive (PSD2) of the European Banking Authority (EBA) introduces so-called strong customer authentication when a payer accesses his account online or initiates an electronic payment transaction. This is why you need your photoTAN device when logging in to Helaba Webbanking as well as when authorising payment transactions.
