Sparkasse Gotha and Payback: Collect points made easy!

The wait has an end: from now on the customers of the Kreissparkasse Gotha can benefit from a new cooperation with Payback. Since July 1, 2025, users of the Sparkassen-Card have been able to look forward to the opportunity to link their payback account with the bank details. This was announced today by the Kreissparkasse Gotha in a press release. The link is easily done via online banking access and has the advantage that a whopping 100 payback points are credited to the account after the connection.

The cooperation between the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe and Payback was skilfully introduced and aims to create additional added value for the loyal customers. Dr. Joachim Schmalzl from the German Sparkassen and Giroverband emphasizes that this cooperation represents a real profit for customers without having to change the usual payment. After all, the savings banks use the Sparkassen-Card annually at around 4.2 billion transactions in stores, which makes up for around 54% of all German girocard payments.

What advantages does the cooperation offer?

For customers who use the S-advantage world program of the Kreissparkasse Gotha, there are completely new possibilities: by linking the Sparkassen-Card, you can simply collect points from regional dealers. From autumn 2023, customers can only score with their Sparkassen-Card for national Payback partners with around 12,000 participating shops. It is important to know that only the necessary information, such as Payback customer number and booking date, is transmitted to Payback, so that personal data or payment information is not passed on.

Hybrides shopping is even more convenient by using the S-advantage world app and access to the payback scoring scale in online banking. Collected Payback can also be redeemed for a variety of offers, including events and trips. It is particularly worth mentioning that the points collected are usually credited to online partners within a few days, although coupons are credited in a blocked form after two weeks.

The large background

Cooperation with Payback is not only a step towards stronger customer loyalty, but also shows how savings banks react flexibly to the needs of their users despite a significant competition in the banking market. Payback, the largest bonus program with over 34 million active customers in Germany, not only offers its members a large selection of partners, but also attractive opportunities for purchasing. Bernhard Brugger, the CEO of Payback, also announces that large Payback partners will gradually be connected to the program from autumn. This will further increase the attractiveness of the program and offer customers even more incentives.

In summary, it can be said that this partnership brings many positive aspects. Customers can collect points both while shopping and conveniently handle their financial transactions through the bank. Those responsible have truly proven a good hand here. The Kreissparkasse Gotha is good in the race and once again shows how important customer loyalty is today.
