Abstract
Described is a method for initiating a cashless payment transaction from a motor vehicle, wherein in a vehicle-external, stationary device an optical detecting apparatus generates image data of a representation apparatus positioned on the motor vehicle for optically representing a chassis number of the motor vehicle, and a recognition apparatus recognizes the representation apparatus in the image data, and based on the recognized representation apparatus, the chassis number of the motor vehicle is determined, and a retrieval apparatus, depending on the determined chassis number, retrieves user data of a user from a data storage, wherein the user data contain bank account data for a cashless payment, and wherein a control device performs the payment transaction in a cashless way, based on the bank account data.
