Debit card purchases in the UK averaged roughly 34 pounds, or about 46 dollars, in 2021 - a value that was noticeably lower than in previous years. This according to estimates based on the overall value of credit card transactions against the number of transactions within the country. These numbers have only been reported on an annual basis. Debit card transaction sizes in the United Kingdom declined for several years in a row, potentially indicating they get increasingly used for less large purchases.
