Far more debit card payments in the domestic travel sector<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Debit card payments in the travel sector were around 65% more frequent in October than a year earlier. These were payments made by Dutch consumers in the Netherlands. The number of payment transactions made by Dutch consumers to and in other countries is likely to have fallen sharply. Those transactions are also often paid with iDEAL and credit cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
