New statistics on payment instruments

19 May 2026

Starting with this edition, the statistics on the payment system have been reorganized into thematic reports.

The report 'Methods of payment available to customers: national data' provides an overview of the payment system, including data on payment instruments, channels and technologies, cross-border transactions, open banking and access to cash. The report 'Methods of payment available to customers: regional data' presents regional information on ATMs and POS terminals, non-cash transactions and indicators of access to cash. An additional report is dedicated to 'Public payments and collection', featuring data processed by the State Treasury and SIOPE+. The sections on interbank settlement systems and central securities management are incorporated into the report 'Financial market infrastructures'.
