Innovative payment methods are increasingly gaining market shares in Germany, too, although many consumers still do not see the advantages of the new technology or view it with distrust. For this reason, preference is still given to traditional payment methods. The study is one of numerous initiatives that have been launched to foster dialogue and promote mutual understanding.
I hope that this upcoming plan will be successfully finalized and will play a pivotal role in pursuing innovation in the future. To make our efforts come to fruition, it goes without saying that continued careful attention and participation of staff, the main agent of innovation, is essential. My fellow members of the Bank of Korea!
