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 doesnt stink) - consumers still consider cash the best available option due to a combination of ingrained consumer habits and a cultural preferences for spending within ones 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.
