Which buyer group can use the solution?
The girocard e-commerce option via Apple Pay is currently open to around 10 million consumers in Germany. This includes
- Sparkasse customers with a girocard who
- Use Apple Pay (Apple users with iPhone, iPad, MacBook)
- and have deposited their Sparkassen girocard with Apple Pay as a payment method.
It should be noted that Sparkasse banks in Germany are the first issuer banks to have agreed on girocard integration for e-commerce with Apple Pay. It can be assumed that other banks will take this step, and other wallet providers will also allow the girocard as a payment method.
