¹ Includes only plastic cards. ² Encompasses only terminals with reference to the German scheme "Girocard". To avoid double-counting, the number of terminals includes the most widespread scheme only, since terminals usually accept different card brands. Only active terminals (terminals with at least one transaction in the reference period). Before 2014 terminals located outside the country, operated by domestic banks are included. Data source for terminals in Germany: Deutsche Kreditwirtschaft (DK). ³ Before 2014 terminals located outside the country, operated by domestic banks are included. ⁴ The total number of ATMs may, in some instances, be bigger than the sum of the number of ATMs with a cash withdrawal function and of ATMs with a credit transfer function, because it also encompasses the number of ATMs with a cash deposit function. Only ATMs operated by domestic payment service providers, located in- and outside the country are included. ⁵ Only ATMs with a cash withdrawal funtion operated by domestic payment service providers, located in- and outside the country are included. ⁶ Only ATMs with a credit transfer function operated by domestic payment service providers, located in- and outside the country are included.
