Where Does the GLS Bank App Store Data?
The GLS Gemeinschaftsbank app keeps login session and documents in private storage on Android and iOS.
Last updated
GLS runs one shared ID on both platforms under de.gls.banking. Private databases hold login session and cached statements. The sustainable projects overview rebuilds from servers. Local files matter for offline views and fast startup. They never replace the server record.
iOS adds a per install GUID. Export annual statements as PDF before device wipes. Folder copies miss the encrypted session and never transfer login. Clearing the folder while the app runs logs you out. Check the overview inside the app after login to confirm the rebuild.
Where GLS Bank stores this, by platform
/data/data/de.gls.banking
Private session and cache for the verified GLS package. Accounts sync from servers; local holds tokens and cached documents.
/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/<guid>/Documents

Frequently asked questions
Do GLS accounts survive reinstall?
No. Balances and documents sync from GLS servers after login. Local data holds tokens and cached PDFs. Reinstall and sign back in. Deleting the folder while the app runs only clears the local cache and ends the session.
How do I fix stale GLS balances?
Clear cache from system app settings for stale overviews. Full storage clear logs you out and drops biometric unlock. Values recompute server side. Check the overview inside the app after login to confirm fresh figures.
