Abstract

While payment digitisation continued in France, bankcards remained the predominant payment method for everyday expenditure in 2022. Overall, cashless transactions increased, bolstered by the development of contactless payments and mobile payments in particular. Cards may have accounted for the majority of transactions in terms of volume for several years, but credit transfers predominate in terms of amounts exchanged. As such, instant credit transfers could gradually come to dominate in the next few years given their significant growth. Meanwhile, cash continues to be widely used in household payments, accounting for half of all point of sale payments and just over one fifth of expenditure. Alors que la numérisation des paiements se poursuit en France, la carte bancaire confirme en 2022 sa place prépondérante dans les moyens de paiement du quotidien. Dans l’ensemble, les transactions scripturales (c’est-à-dire hors espèces) augmentent, soutenues notamment par le développement des paiements sans contact et par mobile. Si la carte est majoritaire en nombre de transactions depuis plusieurs années, ce sont bien les virements qui dominent en matière de montants échangés. À ce titre, le virement instantané pourrait progressivement s’imposer dans les années à venir, tant sa croissance est importante. En parallèle, les paiements en espèces continuent d’être largement utilisés par les ménages. Ils représentent la moitié des transactions au point de vente et portent sur un peu plus d’un cinquième des dépenses.
