Germany’s payment market is rapidly accelerating digitalization: in 2025, contactless payments accounted for 88.5% of Girocard transactions, while mobile payments increased their share of cashless transactions from 7.49% to 12.85% within one year. As charging demand rises, the German shared power bank market still has low brand penetration and limited device coverage, indicating huge growth potential.

1. Germany Payment Introduction

Germany’s payment system is mainly based on bank cards and electronic wallets, while gradually shifting toward mobile and cashless payments:

1. Girocard
Girocard is the most commonly used local card payment method in Germany. It is widely used in POS transactions and is a core payment method for shared power bank rental scenarios.

2. PayPal
PayPal has extremely high coverage in Germany and is widely used in QR-code payment scenarios, making it an important interface for shared power bank mobile payments.

3. Apple Pay / Google Pay
These international mobile payment methods are widely adopted in Germany, especially among younger users, and are an important part of the shared power bank payment ecosystem.

4. SEPA Transfer System
As a unified European payment system, SEPA is used in some shared power bank operations for account top-ups and settlements, serving as an important supplement to the German payment ecosystem.
