Geldkarte
German electronic card payment system
Geldkarte (German: "money card") is a stored-value card or electronic cash system used in Germany. It operates as an offline smart card for small payments at installations like vending machines and to pay for public transport or parking tickets. The card is pre-paid and funds are loaded onto the card using ATMs or dedicated charging machines. The system will be abandoned from 2024.[1]
