Nationwide payment card for refugees is coming. In the future, asylum seekers will receive part of the state benefits as credit and no more as cash.
14 of 16 federal states have now agreed on common standards for a procurement process that should be completed by the summer. The payment card does not have an account connection and can basically be used in all industries, but not abroad. The purpose is to make life difficult for people here and to scare them away, says the organization Asyl Proyl.
