Doing business in Germany? Need to pay someone
in Germany but can´t make head or tail of the payment instructions?
Have you recently moved to Germany and wonder why nobody is writing
checks and everybody wants to debit or credit your current account
directly? Shopping in Germany and few merchants are willing to take
your credit card?
Working in a bank or business branch in Germany
and not sure how things work over here?
Don´t worry, Payments in Germany is here
to help you get your bearings and give you the introduction you
want:
- Need to make sense of the payment instructions
on an invoice or want to check how to pay with plastic?
Just check out the introduction to each topic to get a quick
overview.
- Do you regularly make or receive payments
in Germany, maybe for your business or when working at a bank
or a large company? Do you need background information on how
all the parties involved work together?
This site
will give you a good understanding of how this works without
drifting into "expert speak" nobody can understand.
This site was started in the winter of 2002/2003
and as a consequence, not all topics will be fully developed, yet.
Information is added as my time allows. Right now, this means "infrequently
at best"
And if you have a burning question that is
not answered yet: Send
an email and I will see what I can do for you.
