Hello everyone,

I’m living in Germany and looking for a good PayPal alternative. I mainly need it for:

  • Sending money to friends
  • Paying online, especially to small vendors
  • Ordering food and everyday purchases

I’ve heard about Bunq, Klarna, Revolut, and N26, but I’m not sure which one would be best for my needs. Has anyone had experience with these services in Germany? Which would you recommend and why?

Thanks in advance!

    Invoice is great, but here (Germany) it’s rarely an option in b2c. Some shops do if you spend A LOT or very frequent. if at all, for first-time customers.

      Eh, try smaller shops.

      For example, all local book shops around my area with an online presence - except for thalia but they’re not locally owned - support paying through invoice.

      I haven’t had any negative experience yet, although admittedly, my sample size is limited to three since I only started doing it recently. That might be because my orders were relatively small in price though.
