Die Verbraucherinnen und Verbraucher in Deutschland zahlen ihren Einkauf an der Ladenkasse weiterhin vorwiegend bar. Das geht aus der neuesten Studie der Bundesbank hervor.

As in the past, German consumers prefer to pay for most of their purchases using cash. This is revealed by the Bundesbank's recent 2017 survey on "Payment behaviour in Germany". In terms of volume, however, the significance of cash has waned somewhat. As a share of the combined value of all payments made by private individuals, cash fell below the 50% mark for the first time.
