Credit card and debit card number in the United Kingdom 2000-2019

Published by Raynor de Best, Nov 4, 2020
Approximately 35 percent of payment cards issued in the United Kingdom (UK) were credit cards, reaching a total of over 60 million in 2019. Debit cards were found more often in the country, as that year there were around 102 million of these cards. The numbers provided are estimates, based on the figures central banks have to supply. Owning a payment card does not immediately indicate it gets used often, as there are large differences within Europe when it comes to the use of certain payment methods.
