At physical shops, the estimated number of debit card payments was a few per cent higher than normal, for an amount more than 5% higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-combined-transactions-and-turnover-still-lower-than-a-year-earlier\">Combined transactions and turnover still lower than a year earlier<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sharp rise in online purchases paid for with iDEAL could not fully offset the lower number of debit card payments at physical shops compared with the previous year. The combined number of iDEAL transactions at online shops and debit card payments at points of sale was still estimated to be between 5% and 10% lower than in the same period a year earlier. Estimated combined turnover was also a few per cent lower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-busiest-ideal-day-ever\">Busiest iDEAL day ever<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In absolute terms, <em>Black Friday<\/em> was by far the busiest iDEAL day ever, with around 4.65 million transactions worth an estimated \u20ac395 million. This includes all iDEAL transactions outside e-commerce, such as person-to-person mobile payment requests including Tikkies, as well as invoices, taxes, fines and similar payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over 14 shopping hours on Friday, an average of 90 iDEAL payments were made per second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During these shopping days, Saturday was the busiest day for debit card payments at points of sale, with around 19 million payments worth \u20ac564 million. That was not a daily record, which is usually set on 24 December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the peak of the day, at around 12:45 pm, transaction processor equensWorldline recorded 580 debit card transactions per second.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Black Friday and Cyber Monday brought nearly 50% more online purchases than a year earlier, while debit card payments at physical shops fell by over 10%.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":1537,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"editor_notices":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"btv_subject_tax":[16,17],"class_list":["post-1536","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","btv_subject_tax-card-payments","btv_subject_tax-online-payments"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin  -
