Digital wallets experienced the most significant growth for online payments, increasing from 21 percent in 2016 to 34 percent in 2024, becoming the most common payment method for e-commerce transactions in that year. Buy now, pay later was a relatively new entry still for the European country. Its market share increased between 2019 and 2021 but made up roughly four percent in total in the most recent year available.
The source made multiple changes to its categories over time, see the "Details" tab for more information.
Supplementary notes
* In 2022, the source stated it merged the categories of "credit cards" together with "charge/deferred debit cards".
** The source created a new category in 2023 called A2A or account-to-account. It refers to these as electronic payments made between parties that circumvent card networks and that are embedded within apps and online services. The source lists Pix in Brazil, iDEAL in the Netherlands, and BLIK in Poland as its main examples. A2A includes - and does not solely consist of - the former categories of "bank transfers" and "direct debits". The figures have been taken from several publications.
***In 2024, the "debit card" and "prepaid card" categories were combined into a single category called "Debit and Prepaid Cards".
