Supplementary notes

The source does not provide the original wording of the question posed during the survey. The wording of the question chosen for this statistic may therefore differ slightly from the original. The source phrases the results as follows: "Eight out of ten respondents pays with a debit card when buying something in a retail store. One out of ten chooses to pay with cash money and five percent chooses a mobile phone. Two percent names other payment methods, such as contactless payments and Bitcoin". (in Dutch: "Acht op de tien respondenten betalen nu nog meestal met de pinpas bij aankopen in de winkel. Een op de tien kiest voor afrekenen in contanten en 5 procent voor de mobiele telefoon. 1 procent maakt meestal gebruik van een creditcard. 2 procent noemt andere afrekenmethodes, zoals contactloos betalen en met bitcoins.").
