Without payment card

Exchange campaigns – cash instead of cards

In Brandenburg, refugees receive their money on a payment card. You cannot withdraw more than €50 cash per month with this card. This restriction is discriminatory. Do you want to support people with payment cards and help them get more cash? There are several ways to do this:

Tandem shopping

You can arrange to go shopping with someone who has a payment card. The person pays for your purchase at the end with the payment card and you give them back the value of the purchase in cash.
