Payments
Smooth payment processes require legal, organisational and technical framework conditions in order to guarantee they are reliable and transparent. This is true for real-time payments with a mobile phone or when paying with cash in the shops. It is also essential that payment systems can utilise new technologies and continually expand potential applications. The Association of German Banks works closely with all participants on the payments market – including the European Commission, infrastructure providers and various economic sectors. In the future, we will continue to push for attractive, innovative payment methods that satisfy client’s needs and requirements.
