All figures provided are estimates, as the source combines several sources

Supplementary notes

The figures have been taken from several publications.

For several years, the source seemed to define "share of cash within POS" as the share of cash against pre-paid cards, credit cards, and debit cards. Wallets were not included in this. It is unclear whether this changed in 2020.

Annual level of cash payments in Canada 2008-2021

Published by ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ Research Department, Apr 30, 2025
Cash became increasingly less dominant in Canada, with roughly *** percent of all POS transaction value in the country being paid for with cash. The same can be said for payment transaction volume, or the number of transactions processed in Canadian POS. This is according to a dataset that pulled from several sources that tried to map out payment trends in the country. No data exists on the actual use of cash money, outside of survey diaries.
