bank issue the credit cards

• In Germany the credit cards (VISA, MASTERCARD, ...) are issued by almost all banks.
  
  (excuse Daniel T.): the most used card in Germany is not VISA but MASTERCARD.
  
  If shops in Germany accept credit cards, they almost always accept both VISA and MASTERCARD.
  
  Those two are the most widespread in Germany.
  
  Offerings of credit cards contracts (i.e. contract conditions like annual fee etc.) differ from bank to bank.
  
  Thumb rule: the annual cost of a credit card should not be more than 20 EURO.
  
  Best is, you ask the bank managing your accout for their offering of credit cards.
  
  On

  you can find a comparison of German credit card offerings (seems, just in German language....)
  
  Good luck,
