As a George Business admin, you can choose a login & signing method for each individual user. Let's look at your options and how to set them up.
Authorisation Methods
Last Article Update 19.03.2026
George Business lets you manage how each user gets access. It's easy, too. To get started:
- Go to your user profile to access your admin area.
- Choose Permissions and go to Users in the left-side menu.
- Click on the three dots (...) next to the user you want and choose "Authorisation methods".
You can now choose the following options: George ID, s Identity, EB-PIN and CardTAN.
Creating George ID activation codes
George ID is the authorisation method for the George Business app. The George Business app lets users log in, sign and perform tasks like creating transfers - in one place.
- From "Authorisation methods", choose George ID.
- Pick a language and click "Download PDF".
- George creates a document with the user ID/user number and activation code.
- Share this PDF with the user.
Can users have more than one authorisation method?
George ID and s Identity are both all-in-one methods for login and signing. They can't be used at the same time.
EB-PIN and cardTAN are for signing with specific cards. They can be used in addition to George ID or s Identity.
Creating an EB-PIN letter
An EB-PIN (Electronic Banking PIN) is a 5-digit code. It's tied to a single disposer/user number and can be used for all cards activated for cardTAN.
- From "Authorisation methods", choose EB-PIN.
- Pick a language and click "Download PDF".
- George creates a document you can share with the user.
With an EB-PIN, users can use their card to generate one-time passwords (OTP) with the TAN Generator. Find out more here.
Assign TANcards to a user
Here you can choose which cards the user can use with cardTAN. That is, generate one-time passwords for signing.
All TAN-enabled cards are activated for new users by default. You can make changes any time you want.
Creating s Identity activation codes
s Identity lets users log in and sign with George Business, and available as a mobile and desktop app.
- From "Authorisation methods", choose s Identity.
- Choose whether the user will use the s Identity mobile or desktop app.
- Pick a language and click "Download PDF".
- George creates a document with a user number and activation code.
- Share this PDF with the user.
