Annual level of cash payments in Bulgaria 2014-2021
Published by
Cash was a dominant payment method in Bulgaria, with over 80 percent of all transactions being done with cash money in 2020. This according to estimations based on the available data regarding cash withdrawals and payment transactions. No data exists on the actual use of cash money, outside of survey diaries. Such a diary, covering consumers' use of cash money in shops, was held in Europe only once, in 2017. As not all payment data is readily available, like the use of OTC or over-the-counter cash withdrawals, note this can still mean that the cash share numbers provided here are not necessarily accurate.
