The card is intended to make paying on the Internet easier, can be used worldwide and also has a mobile payment function. Apple Pay or the Android mobile payment function can be used.
According to the Sparkasse website, the service telephone number printed on the card will also be new. As it is a debit card, all payments made with the card are debited directly from the checking account. With real credit cards, all amounts are debited only once a month.
However, the availability of the new debit card depends on whether the local savings banks offer this model. Here the customer must inquire at his Sparkasse.
