The payment statistics were harmonised within the European monetary union beginning with the reporting year 2007 and are collected in Germany using a census survey of all monetary financial institutions (MFIs) with the exception of money market funds. Since reference period 2014 the reporting population has been enlarged to all domestic payment service providers (PSPs), offering payment services to non-PSPs. Data for reference periods 2011 to 2014 have been partly amended as a result of revised payments statistics reports. Where a field is marked with a dot, data are not available or cannot be published.
