The market size of credit card payments in France was relatively unaffected in the first year of the coronavirus pandemic. In 2020, the payment method made up roughly 12 transactions when compared to the country's population that year. This was significantly higher than the credit card use per capita in Germany during the same time. France boasts a relatively high number of credit cards in circulation - making up roughly 45 percent of all payment cards within the country.

2022 figures and beyond - release date November 2023 and later - made significant strides in reporting quality - causing a sometimes significant break in methodology in individual countries. Statista sometimes still had to calculate figures, however, as card figures were split between non-remote and remote use cases.
2021 figures and before - with a release date of July 2022, or earlier - are all Statista estimates. Statista used the following indicators - which did not return after the figures covering 2022:
1. Credit cards
Number of cards with a credit function.
2. Debit cards
Number of cards with a debit function;
