POS terminal count, by country 2022

Estimates are that China in 2022 had as many POS terminals as the United States, India, and Russia combined. This is according to a model that tried to estimate the total amount of payment terminals in use across various countries in the world. The 10 countries listed here only partially match the most populous countries in the world. India, for example, had noticeable less POS terminals than China - despite both countries having a similar population size. Noticeable countries that were not in this list, but did rank among the top 10 countries in the world according to population, were Nigeria and Bangladesh. Nigeria ranked among the world's most unbanked countries.
