A Guide to Payment in Germany<\/h2>\r\n<p data-path-to-node=\"4\">Whether you are at a traditional Christmas market or browsing a modern online shop, you will encounter various ways to settle your bill. Each has its own <b data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"154\">Vor- und Nachteile<\/b> (pros and cons).<\/p>\r\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"5\">1. Barzahlung (Cash Payment)<\/h2>\r\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6\">Germany remains one of the most cash-friendly developed countries. Many small bakeries or caf\u00e9s still only accept &#8220;Bargeld.&#8221;<\/p>\r\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"7\">\r\n<li>\r\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Vorteil:<\/b> You have total control over your budget.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<li>\r\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Nachteil:<\/b> You have to find an ATM (<i data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"35\">Geldautomat<\/i>) and carry physical coins.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"8\">2. Kreditkarte &amp; Girokarte (Credit &amp; Debit Card)<\/h2>\r\n<p data-path-to-node=\"9\">While &#8220;Girokarte&#8221; (formerly EC-Karte) is accepted almost everywhere, &#8220;Kreditkarten&#8221; (Visa\/Mastercard) are becoming more common in cities.<\/p>\r\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"10\">\r\n<li>\r\n<p data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Vorteil:<\/b> Fast, global, and often allows for contactless payment (<i data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"65\">Kontaktloses Bezahlen<\/i>).<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<li>\r\n<p data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Nachteil:<\/b> It is easier to lose track of your spending and potentially fall into debt (<i data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"86\">Schulden<\/i>).<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"11\">3. Lastschrift (Direct Debit)<\/h2>\r\n<p data-path-to-node=\"12\">This is very common for recurring bills like rent, gym memberships, or internet. You give the company &#8220;SEPA-Lastschriftmandat&#8221; to take money from your account.<\/p>\r\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"13\">\r\n<li>\r\n<p data-path-to-node=\"13,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"13,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Vorteil:<\/b> You never miss a deadline.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<li>\r\n<p data-path-to-node=\"13,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"13,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Nachteil:<\/b> If your account is empty, you may face high bank fees.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"14\">4. Kauf auf Rechnung (Purchase on Invoice)<\/h2>\r\n<p data-path-to-node=\"15\">A favorite for online shoppers in Germany.
