DUBLIN: The "Western Europe Online Payment Methods Market Trends, Consumer Adoption, and Growth Forecasts 2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
Digital wallets are gaining traction in Western Europe, particularly among younger consumers. Weekly usage surpassed 20% in Germany and the UK in 2024, while France and Italy showed steady but slower growth. Convenience and mobile integration continue to fuel adoption, though card usage remains prevalent in some markets.
Cards Dominate Despite Rising Alternatives
Cards continue to lead in transaction volume, especially in the UK, where they made up over 60% of payments in 2023. Contactless technology is now standard across the region, with high trust in domestic card schemes like Girocard and Cartes Bancaires. While new methods like BNPL and Pay by Bank grow, cards remain a secure and reliable choice.
Security and Cost Shape Payment Preferences
Across markets, security and affordability are top considerations when choosing payment options. UK and German consumers prioritized secure methods, while the Netherlands favored Pay by Bank for its fee-free model.
