Accept payments via German bank accounts, shamelessly copied from Stripe/PaymentKit
A 2013 Objective-C iOS library for collecting German bank account details (Kontonummer + BLZ) in a payment form UI, explicitly forked from Stripe's PaymentKit. Targets the pre-SEPA German banking world, which was replaced by IBAN/BIC across the EU in 2014. This is historically obsolete.
- Bundles konto_check.c, a well-known C library for validating German bank account numbers and BLZ routing codes — the validation logic itself is solid
- Includes bank logos for the major German banks (Sparkasse, Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank, etc.) which saves the asset-hunting step
- CocoaPods integration was correct practice for the era
- The entire premise is obsolete: Germany completed its SEPA migration in February 2014, one year after this repo's last commit — no app should be collecting Kontonummer/BLZ anymore
- Zero stars, zero forks, no commits in 13 years — abandoned before it was ever used by anyone
- README usage section is completely empty; there is no documentation beyond 'install it with CocoaPods'
- Objective-C with storyboards and .pbxproj files from Xcode 4/5 — even if the use case were valid, this would need a full rewrite for modern iOS
