The Bundesbank is committed to ensuring that people can always pay whichever way they prefer – be it cash or cashless. In this context, the Bundesbank has looked into how the public views the acceptance of cashless means of payment in Germany. It was found that over one in two respondents had wanted to make a cashless payment at least once in recent months but were unable to do so due to cashless payment instruments not being accepted. In addition, just under three-quarters of respondents are in favour of the idea of mandating cashless payment acceptance.
