This is shown by joint research conducted by the Dutch Payments Association and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dnb.nl\/en\/\">De Nederlandsche Bank <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\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-share-of-cash-payments-at-the-point-of-sale-falls-to-37\">Share of cash payments at the point of sale falls to 37%<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Between 2017 and 2018, the number of cash payments made by consumers in shops, restaurants and caf\u00e9s, petrol stations, markets and at service providers fell from 2.74 billion payments (worth \u20ac35 billion) to 2.53 billion payments (worth \u20ac34 billion). Over the same period, the number of debit card payments rose from 3.84 billion (worth \u20ac101 billion) to 4.28 billion (worth \u20ac108 billion). The increased use of debit cards is partly due to consumers making contactless payments for small amounts with their debit cards at a growing number of locations, including restaurants, caf\u00e9s and markets. Growth in debit card use was strongest for amounts up to \u20ac5, while there was hardly any change for amounts of \u20ac50 or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Figure 1a: Number of payments, in billions<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/www.betaalvereniging.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/09\/Betalen-aan-de-kassa-2018-1a-480x320-1.png\" alt=\"Chart showing cash payments falling from 2.74 billion in 2017 to 2.53 billion in 2018, while debit card payments rose from 3.84 billion to 4.28 billion.\" class=\"wp-image-1772\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.betaalvereniging.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/09\/Betalen-aan-de-kassa-2018-1a-480x320-1.png 480w, https:\/\/www.betaalvereniging.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/09\/Betalen-aan-de-kassa-2018-1a-480x320-1-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Figure 1b: Value of payments, in \u20ac billions<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/www.betaalvereniging.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/09\/Betalen-aan-de-kassa-2018-1b-480x320-1.png\" alt=\"Chart showing the value of cash payments falling from \u20ac35 billion in 2017 to \u20ac34 billion in 2018, while debit card payments rose from \u20ac101 billion to \u20ac108 billion.\" class=\"wp-image-1773\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.betaalvereniging.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/09\/Betalen-aan-de-kassa-2018-1b-480x320-1.png 480w, https:\/\/www.betaalvereniging.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/09\/Betalen-aan-de-kassa-2018-1b-480x320-1-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cash-use-also-falling-for-person-to-person-payments\">Cash use also falling for person-to-person payments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2018, people in the Netherlands made almost 600 million payments to one another, with a total value of \u20ac22 billion. These included transactions between family members, friends, colleagues and acquaintances (500 million transactions), as well as transactions for school- or sports-related activities such as gifts for teachers or trainers and contributions towards parties (87 million transactions). Cash was used for 59% of person-to-person payments in 2018, while 38% involved an electronic transfer. Compared with 2017, the use of cash for these payments fell by 8 percentage points, from 67% to 59%. The shift towards electronic methods was stronger here than for point-of-sale payments, probably because more people are discovering mobile options for making payments to one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-young-adults-pay-electronically-most-often\">Young adults pay electronically most often<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2018, young adults aged 19 to 24 used cash the least and electronic payment methods the most. This applied both to point-of-sale payments (Figure 2a) and to transactions between one another (Figure 2b). Teenagers recorded the strongest growth in their share of debit card payments at the point of sale, up 10 percentage points. This may be because more young people have their own bank account at an early age and parents increasingly transfer pocket money to that account. Another likely factor is that purchases in school canteens and at sports clubs can now more often be paid for electronically only. Contactless payment grew particularly rapidly among people aged 75 and over: their contactless share almost doubled in one year, from 9% of all payments in 2017 to 17% in 2018. Debit cards now account for 41% of all payments made by this age group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People aged 55 to 64 made 68% of their person-to-person transactions in cash in 2018 and 29% electronically. Their increase in electronic transfers to other people was the highest of all age groups, at 12 percentage points. The use of electronic transfers grew most strongly among people with an academic education, rising by 17 percentage points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the point of sale, consumers generally pay using their preferred payment method. Where this was not the case\u20142% of all payments\u2014they more often paid cash when they had wanted to use a debit card (2.3% of cash payments) than the other way around (0.6% of debit card payments). Older people appear to use their preferred payment method more often than younger people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Figure 2a: Young adults pay for three out of four point-of-sale purchases by debit card<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"566\" height=\"433\" src=\"https:\/\/www.betaalvereniging.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/09\/Betalen-aan-de-kassa-2018-2a.png\" alt=\"Chart comparing point-of-sale payment methods by age group, showing that young adults pay for three out of four purchases by debit card.\" class=\"wp-image-1774\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.betaalvereniging.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/09\/Betalen-aan-de-kassa-2018-2a.png 566w, https:\/\/www.betaalvereniging.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/09\/Betalen-aan-de-kassa-2018-2a-300x230.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 566px) 100vw, 566px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Figure 2b: Young adults usually make person-to-person payments electronically<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"570\" height=\"482\" src=\"https:\/\/www.betaalvereniging.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/09\/Betalen-aan-de-kassa-2018-2b.png\" alt=\"Chart comparing person-to-person payment methods by age group, showing that young adults use electronic payments most often.\" class=\"wp-image-1775\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.betaalvereniging.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/09\/Betalen-aan-de-kassa-2018-2b.png 570w, https:\/\/www.betaalvereniging.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/09\/Betalen-aan-de-kassa-2018-2b-300x254.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For all the findings from the joint research by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dnb.nl\/en\/\">DNB <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> and the Dutch Payments Association into the use of cash and electronic payment methods in the Netherlands in 2018, download the factsheet <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betaalvereniging.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/09\/Factsheet-Betalen-aan-de-kassa-2018.pdf\"><em>Point-of-sale payments, 2018<\/em> (in Dutch)<\/a>.
