Naarmate men meer (minder) gebruik maakt van contactloos betalen bij het afrekenen van aankopen dan de doorsnee Nederlander, zal de getoonde staaf hoger (lager) uitkomen dan 1". The source also adds, "1 = share of contactless payments in total POS payments for the average Dutch consumer" (in Dutch: 1 = aandeel contactloze betalingen in het totaal aantal toonbankbetaling van de gemiddelde Nederlander).
