This change brings savings bank customers international benefits.

In the future, contactless payments can be made worldwide free of charge with the Sparkassen-Card.

Germany – In order to use the Sparkasse's new offer, however, customers have to fulfill a few things.

The upgrade for savings bank customers only refers to the digital version of the bank card on the cell phone.

Customers also have to meet other requirements in order to use the global offer, as RUHR24 reports.

Sparkasse introduces change – customers need digital and physical bank cards

If you want to benefit from the free offer, you also need a physical bank card with the two payment options Girocard and Debit Mastercard.

In addition, the digital card on the mobile phone must run via the "Mobile Payment" app (Android) or Apple Pay (iOS) (more service news at RUHR24).

The aim is for customers all over the world to be able to pay with their smartphones free of charge.

The reason is less gratifying than the result.

Mastercard has announced that it will close its Maestro debit payment method in almost all of Europe in 2023.

The savings bank is reacting to the change at Mastercard with the new offer.

Maestro is used by many banks to enable their customers to pay abroad.

The prerequisite is that Maestro is accepted at the cash register or at the machine.

Mastercard and Visa are entering into cooperation with the banks.

Sparkasse is changing its offer – business customers are also affected

Further changes are already in sight.

In 2022, Sparkasse plans to make online payments with cellphones via Giropay also possible for Android users.

In this way, customers can pay directly with their Sparkasse card in online shops without going through other apps.

The digital business card for business customers should also come this year, as
