Report Scope
- The rising adoption of contactless payments during the review period drove overall card payments. According to a survey commissioned by Finanssiala (the Finnish Association of Financial Services Providers) between February and March 2021, 97% of contactless card holders made contactless payments using their card. 45% of respondents made contactless payments daily while 43% did so on a weekly basis. Meanwhile, in November 2021, Hameenlinna Regional Public Transport Authority enabled open-loop contactless payments on the city's public transport system in collaboration with transit payment services provider Littlepay. Commuters can make payments by tapping their contactless payment card or mobile wallet on contactless readers installed on buses. Hameenlinna became the fourth city to enable open-loop contactless payments after Helsinki, Tampere, and Oulu
- The proliferation of digital-only banks will further support debit card market growth. In January 2022, Revolut launched its banking services in the country. It offers individual and business accounts along with a Mastercard-branded debit card. Meanwhile, digital-only bank SweepBank launched in Finland in September 2021. Customers receive a virtual Mastercard debit card immediately after opening the account. By the end of December 2021, over 30,000 Finnish consumers had opened an account with SweepBank
- The share of consumers who have a mobile wallet stood at 44.9% in 2021e, up from 37.0% in 2020. This indicates that Finnish consumers are gradually becoming more comfortable using mobile phones for payments, coupled with rising awareness of the benefits of mobile wallets. Banks such as Bank Norwegian and Aktia Bank launched their support for Google Pay in 2020. Amid the COVID-19 outbreak, PayPal launched a QR code-based mobile payment service in May 2020. The mobile proximity payments market is expected to grow further, as a rising number of merchants are accepting mobile wallet solutions.
