The number of credit card transactions in the Republic of Ireland grew to nearly 44 per capita, which equaled several millions of transactions. Up to 2022, the trend of declining credit card payments was similar to what was seen elsewhere in Europe. In the United Kingdom, for example, UK consumers started to pay off credit card debt during lockdown. Note that card figures are not as easily measured in all countries. See the "Details" tab for more information.

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 - for Ireland:
1. Credit cards
Number of cards with a credit function.
2. Debit cards
Number of cards with a debit function.
The following additional sources have been used to provide further context to these figures:
