Contactless payments have risen in the DACH region during lockdown, Concardis says

 

 

According to the research, the proportion of contactless payments in the DACH region has risen by around 7% to 91% following the lockdown. It is remarkable that contactless transactions have increased by more than half, while the number of non-contactless payments has fallen by around 20%. In food retailing, around 70% of credit card payments were contactless prior to the lockdown. In the six weeks following the lockdown, the average proportion was just under 75%. 


According to the Concardis figures the number of contactless payments with credit cards at DIY stores has increased by more than 80%, with their share of turnover doubling. Accordingly, the proportion of contactless transactions has risen from 61% before the store closures to around 70% afterwards.
