Quarterly number of Visa credit card transactions worldwide 2008-2024, per capita
Visa's number of transactions for their credit cards were used only slightly more often at the end of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. Although the absolute number of payment transactions kept increasing, the number of payments per account remained relatively unchanged. In Q1 2023, Visa credit cards are used in roughly 22 billion transactions. It is believed that credit cards have increasingly become popular to counter cost of living in countries like the United States. Note that the figures shown here are different from transaction number estimates on global general purpose cards as this ranking only shows credit card numbers.
