Giropay is a German payment method based on online banking introduced in 2006. It allows customers of most Sparkassen and cooperative banks in Germany to complete transactions online using their online banking environment, with funds debited from their bank account. Depending on their bank, customers confirm payments on Giropay using a second factor authentication or a PIN. Payments are immediately confirmed to the business and irrevocable.
Giropay accounts for just under 10% of online checkouts in Germany, and is suited to business models that require the funds to be guaranteed.
