As of the end of 2023, there was a total of approximately 1.9 million of point-of-sale (POS) processing devices in Ireland compared to around 1.75 million POS processing devices in 2023. This was preceded by a steep rise from 2018 when there were approximately 230 thousand POS terminals in the country. This development goes hand in hand with the rise of payment cards issued in Ireland, which amounted to 8.04 million in 2020.
