I would now like to present to you the main findings of our study. On balance, cash is still the number one means of payment at the point of sale. Cash is used for almost 80% of all transactions, although the trend has declined slightly since the last study in 2011.
The share of cash by value has remained constant and, at 53%, accounts for more than half of the amounts spent. This is especially true of smaller amounts. Amounts of € upwards are mostly paid on a cashless basis.
