Debit card payments in Spain increased by nearly 16 billion euros in 2023, a year-on-year increase of roughly nine percent. This was a sizable increase for the European country, continuing a trend upwards that set it in years ago. Before the coronavirus pandemic, a three-year survey from the European Central Bank observed that Spain ranked among the more likely countries in Europe to use cash money.
