New Zealand’s cards and payments industry is well developed, and consumers are prolific users of payment cards. According to a February 2016 Mastercard survey, New Zealand has the lowest cash use among OECD countries, and around half of survey participants expect cash payments to cease in the next 10 years. A strong banked population and high financial awareness among New Zealanders has driven payment card penetration in the country. The frequency of use of payment cards in New Zealand stood at 117.0 in 2017 – the highest figure among its peers. At the core of the payment market is consumers’ embrace of debit cards and EFTPOS, which has been the main driver behind the growth in all non-cash payments. It is a highly mature market in terms of card penetration, although consumers appear to struggle with credit cards as a payment option. Mobile payments need to focus on replicating the convenience of debit cards, which have benefited from the widespread rollout of contactless.
