Cultural Tip
German distinguishes clearly between informal ‘du’ and formal ‘Sie’. In a bank’s official communication you would say ‘Loggen Sie sich in Ihr Online‑Banking ein.’ The verb ‘loggen’ is a relatively new loanword; some native speakers still prefer the older ‘einloggen’. Always keep your login data private and avoid sharing it in public places.
