Looking for PayPal alternative in Germany - Bunq, Klarna, Revolut or N26?
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!

The payment systems here are widely used in many EU countries. I have not lived in Germany, generally when I travel there, I am astonished how much cash-based everything is (I have no strong opinion on it, though).

Don't take my.word for it: @BaFin is the authority on that matter!

The main problem is that banks in the #EU csn only do #SEPA and #SWIFT, so if a recipient in in the #USA they may not even have an #IBAN!
