Poland is one of the most advanced and innovative markets in Europe, offering consumers broad access to the latest technology in electronic payments. Nevertheless cash is still very popular, accounting for 61.5% of the total payment transaction volume in 2017. Payment card use is rising as consumers enthusiastically embrace new technologies, moving from cash to payment cards to contactless. Although cash is very much the dominant means of payment, there was huge growth in the volume of debit card transactions during the review period (2013-17e). This more than doubled between 2013 and 2017, as consumers preferred debt-free payments and avoided unnecessary expenditure. Governments initiatives to promote paperless and cashless transactions and the launch of new mobile POS technologies will boost the adoption of electronic payments in the country. The government has also been encouraging businesses to open bank accounts for employees, and salaries are now paid into bank accounts. It is also focusing on using electronic modes of payment to distribute pension and other retirement benefits.
