"Payments in Italy 2017: What Consumers Want", report examines the consumer payments market in Italy, considering payment cards, online payments, P2P payments, and newer payment technologies such as mobile wallets and contactless. The report also examines the main regulatory players overseeing the market.
Despite being the fourth-largest economy in Europe in terms of nominal GDP, Italians have remained slow adopters of electronic payments, primarily due to a strong inclination towards cash transactions. Cash accounts for 81% of payment transaction volume. The country has a comparatively low penetration of payment cards, although it has a robust POS terminal network. The government’s push for electronic payments through a cap on cash transactions and the implementation of interchange fee regulation resulted in a gradual increase in payment card transaction volume during the review period. Debit cards are the most used payment card at the POS, followed by charge cards. Italian consumers favor charge cards over credit cards due to their debt-averse nature.
