Farewell to the Maestro function: bezahl.de scores points with inexpensive payment alternatives

After more than 30 years, current cards with the Maestro function will no longer be issued as of July 1, 2023. The function made the German standard means of payment internationally usable, but was unable to keep up with developments in progressive digitization. The result: Banks will use alternative systems and will increasingly issue debit and credit cards to their customers in the future. For retailers, this means significantly higher fees per transaction. In this article, you can find out more about the background and how you can continue to offer cashless payment options at low cost with bezahl.de.
