- thesimon 10mo agoDB machines have been accepting all sorts of cards for a long time (Visa, AMEX, Discover). Local vending machines might vary though.
- ivan_gammel 10mo agoStarting in 2026, support of digital payments is mandatory in Germany for all types of businesses. DB has been card-friendly for a long time.
- pimeys 10mo agoYeah and already in 2025 it's quite common to be able to pay with a credit card in bars and restaurants too, which was almost unheard of a few years back. Of course these machines break all the time, and suddenly the business can only take cash. This seems to be a very specific problem that only happens in Germany.
