84 percent want digital payments as a right

▤ Summary

A Bitkom survey shows strong and growing support in Germany for stores to offer digital payment options alongside cash. The share of respondents who want at least one electronic payment method rose to 84 percent from 70 percent a year earlier. Support cuts across age groups, and many people also say they are frustrated when a shop accepts only cash. Cash still matters to most consumers, but the article signals a clear shift toward broader card and mobile payment acceptance.
