Germany didn't turn off Girocard that's just fake News. I literally paid yesterday using Girocard. It also works with some big German retailers outside of Germany (like with Billa in Austria which is a subsidiary of Rewe Group) Maestro and Visa just stopped offering Maestro/V-Pay so they can charge the higher fees vor Visa/MasterCard. The only thing that changed is the Co-Badge on most Girocards
