In April, however, visitors made 37% more debit card payments in culture and entertainment than in April 2019. In March, the number of debit card payments in hospitality was 25% higher than three years earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In April, 445 million debit card payments were made at the point of sale, a new all-time monthly record. The previous monthly record was October 2021, with 439 million transactions. The previous April record, set in 2019, was 380 million transactions. The value of debit card payments totalled \u20ac12 billion last month, just short of an all-time monthly record. In April 2019, the value was \u20ac9.53 billion. In 2020 and 2021, the April value was lower than in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The chart below shows the trend in the number of debit card payments in the Culture &amp; Entertainment and Hospitality sectors since 1 January 2020. Each calendar month is compared with the same month in 2019, the last full year before the pandemic. For comparison, the chart also shows trends for supermarkets and the total number of debit card payments. Supermarkets were least affected by the COVID-19 restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"467\" src=\"https:\/\/www.betaalvereniging.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/09\/Trend-pinbetalingen-verschillende-branches-tijdens-corona-768x467-1.png\" alt=\"Chart showing trends in debit card payments in different sectors during the COVID-19 pandemic.\" class=\"wp-image-1140\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.betaalvereniging.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/09\/Trend-pinbetalingen-verschillende-branches-tijdens-corona-768x467-1.png 768w, https:\/\/www.betaalvereniging.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/09\/Trend-pinbetalingen-verschillende-branches-tijdens-corona-768x467-1-300x182.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pin.nl\/actueel\/kerncijfers\/\">More debit card figures are available on PIN.NL. <span class=\"icon inline-block ml-1 w-[0.875em]\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" fill=\"#000000\" viewBox=\"0 0 256 256\"><path d=\"M228,104a12,12,0,0,1-24,0V69l-59.51,59.51a12,12,0,0,1-17-17L187,52H152a12,12,0,0,1,0-24h64a12,12,0,0,1,12,12Zm-44,24a12,12,0,0,0-12,12v64H52V84h64a12,12,0,0,0,0-24H48A20,20,0,0,0,28,80V208a20,20,0,0,0,20,20H176a20,20,0,0,0,20-20V140A12,12,0,0,0,184,128Z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Debit card payments in culture, entertainment and hospitality rose sharply after most COVID-19 restrictions were lifted, while April set a new monthly record.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":655,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"editor_notices":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[20,22],"btv_subject_tax":[16],"class_list":["post-1139","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-press-release","btv_subject_tax-card-payments"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin  -
