Pay GEZ monthly - how it works

A monthly GEZ contribution of EUR 17.50 is to be paid, which you cannot officially pay per month at GEZ. In this practical tip, we will tell you how it works.

How you can still pay your GEZ contribution monthly

The official name for the GEZ is broadcasting fee. However, paying this contribution monthly is not possible. You are only offered to make the payment three months in advance. The 52.50 euros are then due in the middle of the three months.

• If you want to be on the safe side, you should choose one of the official payment methods. These can be found on the page of the broadcasting fee.
• If you still want to pay monthly, you can also pay the current contribution of 17.50 euros per month and pay by bank transfer to the GEZ. The corresponding information can also be found on the above website.
• You then risk a backlog at the GEZ, because you only paid 35 euros instead of the usual 52.50 euros. However, lawyers assume that such a backlog is usually not warned.
• If you want to take the low risk, you can also pay the GEZ monthly. If you don't want to risk that, you should rather stick to the usual payment rhythms.
