For Me, speaking as a customers perspective from Germany these badges really help me to identify the way I can pay (…well yeah of course thats the reason why you show these icons…) at a certain website. But its kinda helpful to know in advance if they accept my American Express or I can easily check out with PayPal or even other specific local payment services. So I know when I buy something, the checkout is learned and intuitive with the methods I prefer.
