To increase financial access to the under and unbanked populations, Bafin – the banking and financial services regulator – announced mandatory free basic accounts to all Germans as part of the new Payment Account Acts (Zahlungskontengesetz – ZKG) in 2016. Under the terms, basic accounts must be provided to all citizens including those with no permanent address, asylum seekers and those without a permit of residence. All accountholders will be offered basic functionality including a payment card, credit transfer facilities and the ability to pay direct debits.
To offer secured and convenient online payments, German Savings Banks Association (DSGV) launched its own online payment solution, Paydirekt in November 2015. It allows customers of participating banks to pay for online purchases directly from their checking accounts, thereby eliminating the need for any third-party payment processors.
The emergence of digital-banks is likely to accelerate the shift away from cash. Telecom service provider Telefónica Deutschland partnered with Fidor Bank to launch a mobile-only bank in July 2016. Customers using the O2 banking app can conduct transactions such as P2P transfers and apply for loans. Upon opening of the account, customers receive Mastercard debit card.
