There were only 8.3 million contactless transactions in 2014, rising to 630 million in 2016. With 679 million contactless payments in the first seven months of this year, that figure had already been comfortably exceeded. The number of debit card payments is also growing: last year, for the first time, there were more debit card payments than cash payments in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.collecteren.nl\/pinnen-collectebus\"><em>Read the full press release from Stichting Collecteplan (in Dutch)\u2026<\/em> <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>A new collection box developed by 21 charities allows people in 50 Dutch municipalities to make contactless or chip-and-PIN donations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":1843,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"editor_notices":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"btv_subject_tax":[16],"class_list":["post-2011","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","btv_subject_tax-card-payments"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin  - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Contactloos pinnen bij collectant in Nederland - Dutch Payments Association<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Vanaf 3 september kan je contactloos pinnen bij collectant in 50 gemeenten.
