Germany-Stack: Wildberger's authority payment system taking shape
A crucial building block of digital administration is taking shape: The Handelsblatt learned who is developing the concept for the payment mechanism - and what it could look like.
Germany's Digital Minister Karsten Wildberger aims to modernize the country's administration with a technology platform, the Deutschland-Stack, which will provide a unified foundation for digital services. The platform's payment infrastructure, ZBDS, is being developed with the help of Nortal AG, which has been commissioned by the Federal Ministry for Digital Affairs and Administrative Modernization (BMDS) to design the payment system.
The ZBDS will provide a common basis for payments and payouts in digital administrative procedures, and is expected to be operational by 2028. The project is inspired by Italy's pagoPA platform, which has successfully standardized payments to public authorities.
