Payments in Germany 2017-What Consumers Want

ReportsWeb.com published “Payments Market” from its database. The report covers the market landscape and its growth prospects over the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.

"Payments in Germany 2017: What Consumers Want", report examines the consumer payments market in Germany, considering payment cards, online payments, P2P payments, and newer payment technologies such as mobile wallets and contactless. The report also examines the main regulatory players overseeing the market.

Germany has a strong economy and high levels of financial inclusion, despite German consumers having a strong inclination towards cash for the majority of transactions. The German maxim is "geld stinkt nicht" (literally "money doesn't stink")-consumers still consider cash the best available option due to a combination of ingrained consumer habits and a cultural preferences for spending within one's means. While in terms of number of cards in circulation the German payment card market is third-largest among its peer, behind only the US and the UK, it is still far from being recognized as a fully mature market. The average number of monthly card transactions by consumers in Germany was 2.4 in 2017, much lower than the likes of France (12.4), Canada (9.0), and the UK (7.7). Payment cards are used sparingly at the POS, with their primary use being to withdraw cash from ATMs. As a result, alternative payment methods are sharply limited in both usage and consumer interest. The only major area of the German payments market in which alternative and emerging payment tools have gained any sort of traction is the e-commerce space.
