Consumers: Cashless payment: Majority wants more options

A recent YouGov survey found that most people in Germany want to be able to pay cashless in various locations. 72% of respondents said they should be able to pay without cash in restaurants, 71% in supermarkets, and 66% in retail stores. The survey also found that over 60% of respondents wanted cashless payment options at parking garages, airports, and train stations. The desire for cashless payments has increased since a similar survey was conducted in 2025, with more than 3,600 people participating in this year's survey.
