Thanks. After some searching I've even found that stuff on my bank's website. Shouldn't they have included a link there when they asked me what new system I would like to use?

Maybe they will do that when the old scheme is running out with them, too. I am with Postbank, and had gotten a minor note on mTAN some longer time ago, and today I had a seperate sheet of paper in my printouts saying in all clearness that I need to decide on any of the two new methods, since the old is running out at any time during first half 2011, with last mail-list being to order until later this month.

All banks offering online banking seem to abandon the old iTAN system now. It seems all leave oyu the choice between mTAN and TANgenerator (sometimes called "flickering").
