The National Cash Forum, part of the Deutsche Bundesbank, has introduced new cash‑acceptance stickers for retailers. A neutral sticker will be displayed alongside credit‑card symbols at shop entrances to signal that cash is accepted. In addition, two stickers with positive slogans—“Klar, auch bar!” and “Einfach. Bargeld.”—will be available. The Bundesbank Executive Board member Burkhard Balz said the stickers should increase cash visibility and expects widespread use in the coming weeks. Retailers can obtain the free stickers through the German Retail Federation’s regional branches or order them on the National Cash Forum website. The Forum is also conducting crisis exercises to test cash‑cycle communication and resilience, having already run a scenario involving a bank branch evacuation and card‑network failures. The exercises underline the need for reliable cash supply and support for digital‑payment initiatives.
