Additional findings from the report include:

  • Contactless payments are up by nearly a third (30%) since the start of the pandemic, when chip & pin payments were still the most popular way to pay
  • Between 2021 and 2022, cash payments will account for just over one tenth (11%) of all purchases
  • Forecasts show almost three quarters (72%) of payments will be made by card within the next year
