50 euros cash per month: Söder’s payment card for asylum seekers “fully on schedule”. A model project is now starting in four municipalities.
Hamburg was the first federal state to start issuing payment cards for asylum seeker – Bavaria is now following suit. Hamburg has agreed with 13 other federal states on a joint procurement process for the payment card. This should be completed by summer 2024. Until then, the city of Hamburg will issue cards as part of a pilot project.
