What’s odd is that Germans LOVE using PayPal. The pseudo banking system that PayPal offers is apparently light years ahead of traditional banking in Deutscheland.

The banking system is fine. It’s just that credit card use is not very widespread in Germany. PayPal (linked to bank accounts) is then fairly convenient online.

Now instant payments using SEPA are mandatory and rolled out everywhere.
