Total card payments in the Benelux region 2010-2019
This statistic shows the total card payments with cards issued by resident PSPs in the Benelux countries (Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands) from 2010 to 2019 (in millions). In 2019, the Netherlands used the most card payments with approximately 5.1 billion payments, compared to 2.3 billion in Belgium and 210 million in Luxembourg.
Like in other European countries, credit and debit cards are a popular form of digital payment methods for either physical purchases in brick-and-mortar-stores or for online purchases. In 2016, Luxembourg had approximately 216 card payments per capita compared to 151 in Belgium and 232 in the Netherlands.
Consumers from the Benelux are familiar with the use of credit cards. Domestic uses, however, appear to be few due to the presence of other popular payment services, with credit cards generally being used for specific situations such as online shopping or foreign travels.
