Gli assegni diminuiscono e i pagamenti con carte ed elettronici, invece, aumentano.
I pagamenti elettronici si usano per fare mediamente importi inferiori (>2/3 delle transazioni ma <1/2 degli importi).
Non una grande sorpresa, ma una conferma importante
Electronic payments now comprise over two-thirds of all noncash payments by number, but less than half by value (exhibit 5). The number of electronic payments grew 12.4 percent per year from 2003 to 2006. The proportion of electronic payments in noncash payments increased from 54.2 percent to 67.2 percent over the same period. The value of electronic payments increased 8.9 percent per year, growing from 39.1 percent of noncash payments in 2003 to 45.0 percent in 2006.
