As a basic requirement to use George Business, you need a company. And a business account at Erste Bank und Sparkasse. Here is the link where you can directly open your account digitally: Onboarding to George Business. Then you can get started with your new business banking. In different roles and with a variety of responsibilities and permissions.

 

Depending on the company and the tasks, there are often several people involved - George Business makes it easier for his users, because George Business differentiates between "simple" users, who can actually do all the daily tasks, and users, who are also authorised to sign orders. Special tasks such as product or user administration are handled by administrators (admins).

To join George Business, you need your George Business access data. You receive these via s Box from the s Service Center if you are an admin or a disposer. If you are a George Business user, you will receive your access data directly from your admin, who will generate them for you.

Who is who at George Business?

George Business distinguishes between 3 different groups:

  • User
  • Disposer ("Verfüger:in")
  • Admin

Whether you are a user, a disposer or an admin, you have different tasks and rights when using George Business. Users can perform all daily tasks at George Business, such as preparing payment orders. Disposers can also sign orders. Admins also take care of administrative tasks, such as product and user management. They can assign rights and add or delete users.

Users

With this role, you can, for example, create and prepare orders or view accounts. A typical profession group for users are accountants who create and view orders, but do not need to have signing rights.

Disposers

Persons in management who are formally authorised to sign and who are administered by the bank usually take on this role. As authorised signees, they can sign orders, but they don't need to take on any operational tasks themselves, such as users who initiate the signature process. But George Business is flexible. That is why there is also a combination of users and disposers, for example for authorised signees who both work with George Business and are authorised to sign. How the various rights are allocated is the administrator's responsibility.

Admins

Who can see what at George Business or do certain things is regulated by an administrator in your company. This is what the concept of user groups is for. The following functions are available to admins:

  • Add or remove additional users from the "Administration" role.
  • Create roles and users
  • Assign account permissions for users or roles
  • Change the login procedure or define alternative login options for users
  • Generate new activation codes for the s Identity App or s Identity Desktop application
  • Assigning a TAN card or a TAN-capable BankCard that is required for generating the "One Time Password" (OTP) when logging in user accounts
  • Printout of a new PIN code for users who use the SMS-TAN or cardTAN system
  • Blocking, unblocking and deleting users
  • Activate & deactivate disposers created by the bank for the login at George Business
  • Setting up external bank connections
