Overview

This node operation retrieves the available TAN (Transaction Authentication Number) methods from a bank using the AqBanking interface. It is useful for users who need to know which TAN methods are supported by their bank for transaction authentication, such as SMS TAN, push TAN, or hardware tokens. This information helps in setting up or managing secure banking transactions.

Use Case Examples

  1. A user wants to list all TAN methods supported by their bank to configure their FinTS/HBCI client accordingly.
  2. A financial application needs to display available TAN methods to the user for selecting their preferred authentication method.
