Visa and Mastercard reached their highest transaction values in the U.S., although both card schemes were used relatively more in Europe. This is according to estimations calculated by Statista from numbers that first tried to establish the market size of domestic POS and online markets, and that were then used to calculate the market share of specific payment methods and brands. For this statistic, the focus is exclusively on the three major card brands - Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. Notable is the diversity in Europe when it comes to these major card schemes. Neither the UK or Germany process the most payments with Visa or Mastercard, but it's countries like Finland and the Netherlands, respectively.

Supplementary notes
The numbers provided have been calculated by Statista using figures from Worldpay's Global Payments Report - editions 2023 and 2024. This source, in turn, largely relied on GlobalData.
The source did not provide figures for other countries in the Middle East and Africa.
The source does not provide information on whether it considered local partnerships between Visa and/or Mastercard with local card schemes. Certain local brands, like Bancomat in Italy or CB in France, make use of international card rails or co-branding. It is unclear whether the figures take such local interdependencies into consideration.
