Special properties

Credit card figures include cards with a credit function and a delayed debit function.

Supplementary notes

The figures have been taken from several publications, as (the quality of) data tracking of card payments can vary significantly between countries, and to unify figures across different countries worldwide.

All figures stem from either the��or the��. Both use figures submitted by the country's central bank to either or both sources.

2022 figures and beyond - release date November 2023 and later - made significant strides in reporting quality, sometimes causing significant breaks in methodology in individual countries. ��ƽ�� sometimes still had to calculate figures, however, as card figures were split between non-remote and remote use cases, or credit cards were not always clearly defined.��

Hungarian consumers performed roughly credit card payments per capita in 2024, a notable increase when compared to 2020. This according to estimates based off credit card figures from the country's central bank. No information is provided why this number went down in the country during the first year of the coronavirus pandemic. Arguably, this could coincide with a trend in the UK of paying off credit card debt during lockdown.
