German Government Plans Postal Check System
The German government will introduce a postal check system modeled on Austria. A decree will run until 1911, with nine large cities hosting offices. Each user must deposit 100 marks and maintain that balance, receiving a personal account number for checks. Payments can be made by other holders, and to outsiders, via pay cards, money orders, or transfer orders. Checks cannot be endorsed or circulated. Small service fees cover operating costs.
