Payments in Norway 2017: What Consumers Want?

The card reigns supreme in Norway, with few individuals using cash on a daily basis and most possessing a minimum of two payment cards. Norways strong card and payment industry is the result of a robust economy, an efficient domestic debit card scheme (BankAxept), and increasing consumer appetite for credit. The average number of monthly card transactions and the average annual spend per card is higher in Norway than in more developed markets such as the US, the UK, France, Germany, and Australia. Electronic payments have gained ground during the last 10 years, as the government has invested substantially in building long-term infrastructure for cashless transactions. Affordable and widely available financial products, a consumer preference for e-payments, a competitive marketplace, and a transparent business environment will aid the move towards a cashless society.
