PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Contactless payments become more common, decreasing the need for PIN codes or even physical cards
Contactless payments with physical cards and NFC payments marked the initial steps towards reducing the need to physically present a card during transactions. As e-commerce grows and virtual cards become more common, these technologies are expected to further reduce the necessity for physical cards, potentially leading to their complete replacement.
Cards increasingly used for payments over cash withdrawals
The long-term decline in card usage for cash withdrawals is expected to continue. However, cards are increasingly being used to identify users for cash deposits through ATMs.
Card fraud prevention – safety concerns remain a top concern
Maintaining trust in debit card payments as a secure system is a high priority, especially given the significant increase in fraud numbers and value since the COVID-19 pandemic. The shift towards online retail and cross-border commerce has intensified the need for rigorous fraud prevention measures.

Debit Card Transactions
Debit cards merge the functionality of both an ATM card and direct payment from a bank account (a check substitute in some markets). A debit card allows the cardholder to receive cash and monitor account activity at an ATM machine, as well as pay for goods and services via a point-of-sale terminal. A debit card payment transaction involves the automatic withdrawal of funds from the cardholder’s demand deposit bank account (checking or giro). Since the funds are removed from a bank account, no interest is charged on payments. Payments are tracked based on the country of residence / account issuance and include outbound spend while excluding inbound spend.
