Pre-Paid Cards in Germany

Abstract
Pre-paid cards recorded significant declines across all indicators in 2022. However, this was not due to a general trend but rather a result of extraordinary developments within both open loop pre-paid cards and closed loop pre-paid cards. Pre-paid cards in circulation, the second most popular in the German financial card landscape after debit cards, continued on a steep downward trend, driven by the ongoing gradual discontinuation of the highly prevalent but rarely used Geldkarte.
