More traditional payment means like bank transfers and payments by card at the point of sale for online purchases are still quite popular, but respondents have been using these payment methods less often. One preferred way of conducting money transfers in Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands is by card. In 2016, Luxembourg had approximately ***card payments per capita compared to *** in Belgium and *** in the Netherlands. In the third quarter of 2017, the share of NFC payments of all debit card payments was approximately ** percent. NFC payments were introduced in the Netherlands in 2014 and mainly involves contactless payments made at points of sales, with either a debit card or a mobile phone or payments via QR codes.
