Sparkasse does not accept AfD donations - when banks are allowed to intervene in payments. Sparkasse is increasingly using artificial intelligence (AI) “to identify appropriate transfers,” explains a spokesman.
Payments to recipients who are on sanctions lists are automatically filtered out and stopped by the banks. Whether online or by traditional transfer, banks can prohibit or at least withhold payments in certain cases. It is not always real bank employees who contact customers. A 79-year-old woman from Lünen lost 18,000 euros in a scam.
