2020 IMPACT

Charge cards surge in view of COVID-19-related payment shifts

As the second most popular payment card in Germany, charge cards also benefitted from widespread recommendations during the COVID-19 pandemic to replace cash with card payments. Consequently, charge card transactions reached unprecedented heights in volume and value terms as well as share of retail sales.

Growing merchant acceptance in 2020 fuels growth trend

Against the backdrop of rising health concerns, card acceptance significantly increased in Germany beyond established chained players. With payment providers offering favourable payment terms, many independent merchants also enhanced their payment options, mindful of the swift change in consumer payment preferences.

Consumer view on charge cards evolves amid COVID-19 pandemic

Traditionally, charge cards in Germany have trailed far behind debit cards in terms of transaction volume and value. This was due to a significantly lower number of cards in circulation and different payment purposes.
