With regard to account management and the processing of cashless payments, the Deutsche Bundesbank makes a basic distinction between "deposit-taking credit institutions" (credit institutions within the meaning of Article 4 (1) number 1 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013) and "other account holders". The latter category includes the following customer groups:

• Public administrations and entities with a private legal form performing the activities of public administrations or processing payments on their behalf.
• Charitable and non-profit organisations
• Payment service providers within the meaning of section 1 (1) numbers 2 to 5 of the Payment Services Oversight Act (Zahlungsdiensteaufsichtsgesetz or ZAG), specific credit institutions (Kreditinstitute mit Teilbanklizenz) as well as financial service institutions within the meaning of section 1 (1a) of the German Banking Act (Kreditwesengesetz).
