Even after Corona: Digital payments continue to increase
Germans see digital payments as secure, and they are easier and faster than cash. The corona boost in digital payment methods is thus continuing. The Postbank Digital Study 2022 shows which groups have the most trust. Digital payment continues to increase: Six out of ten Germans already pay contactless with their smartphone or a card. In 2021 it was still 56 percent, in 2020 just before the pandemic only 47 percent. The Corona crisis has clearly driven the trend: 30 percent of mobile payment users state that they handle less cash because of the pandemic.
