Whilst more debit cards in the United States supported NFC payments in 2020, their market share in overall debit payments was relatively small. This according to a report released over the course of 2021, which states that U.S. contactless transactions made up less than *** percent of debit payments. Traditionally, debit card figures are lower than those of credit cards in the country - potentially indicating that percentage might even be lower when credit cards are included. The source does add, however, that debit transactions in 2020 were higher than credit transactions - the first time in the source's history this development occurred.
