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!

@ShadyQuark By the way... Here in NL the banks switched their Maestro cards over to Visa debit cards which enable you to easily make online purchases and allow me to kick out PayPal.

Visa is still US, though... sigh... compromises...

And you don't get the purchase protection you get with PP or a "real" creditcard.

I wish there was a European payments provider like India has RuPay :(
