The total number of card payments made in the European Union from 2000 to 2020 saw a steady increase during this period of time. In 2018, approximately 77.7 billion card purchases were made in the EU member states, while the year after 86,7 billion card purchases were recorded in the European Union. This trend is coherent with the gradual move to using less cash money in the European Union.
