Poland's payment market continues to growth rapidly. The total number of payments exceeded 7.5 billion in 2018 and it remained on track to surpass 8.7 billion by 2019. Card payments alone reached nearly 4.7 billion transactions and they accounted for over 62% of all payments processed in the country. The persisting growth in card transactions can be attributed to fast expansion of the acceptance network and to increasing frequency in card use. In 2018, the average annual number of transactions per single card issued in Poland approached 114 tx. per card.
Outlook
The demand for convenient payment services and the ongoing support programs dedicated to the development of acceptance network, e.g. �Cashless Poland�, contribute to a gradual, although slow cash displacement. The current pace of growth in payment volumes is expected to remain strong, similarly to the dominating role of cards in overall payments. As a consequence, the total volume of payments in Poland is likely to reach 12 billion transactions by 2022.
