Title: Finansbank VKN number
Post by: babcc on March 18, 2016, 18:09:02 PM: Hi. We have just tried to log in for Internet banking. We received the customer ID, password and the sims password. We were then asked for a VKN number. We have called customer service and have to wait two working days. We live in the UK. I just wondered what this VKN was? Thanks in advance Barbara

Its probably a double check
