Sparkassen Card Payments: Click to Pay Rollout, Digi Mart USA News (Germany): Several changes are underway for online payments by Sparkassen customers in Germany. According to the publisher report, an long-used app for confirming online card payments will be discontinued at the end of 2026, and customers will need to switch to the S-pushTAN app.
The S-Payment GmbH, the central company for digital payment methods within the Sparkassen financial group, announced that from November 22, 2026, Sparkassen customers will be able to use a new payment method. Sparkassen cards with Co-Badge Debit Mastercard or Visa Debit, as well as Sparkassen credit cards, can be used with Click to Pay.
Click to Pay is an online payment method for credit, debit and prepaid cards. It allows customers to pay at online shops such as MediaMarkt, Saturn, Marktkauf, Netto, Christ, LIDL and Kaufland without entering the card number.
The article notes that the Sparkasse has not yet described the process in detail, but it is presumed Click to Pay will be activated through the Sparkasse app.
According to the report, registration, profile management and payment approval are intended to take place within the Sparkassen financial group’s environment. If several cards are stored in a profile, customers can choose which card to use in a second step.
Card details are not entered at the shop, which receives only a token.
A fixed password is not required. To confirm a payment, a one-time code is sent to the registered email address.
It is also possible that customers will approve payments through the S-pushTAN app.
