OREANDA-NEWS. RnR Market Research Offers Report by Research on Consumer Payments Country Snapshot: Norway 2016.

Summary

The card reigns supreme in Norway, with only 6% of the population using cash on a daily basis and most possessing a minimum of two payment cards. And although the market is one of the most mature in the world, further growth is expected for both pay-now and pay-later cards.

Key Findings

- Nearly half of all credit card balances are revolved each month. Income from balance-related interest and fees make the market profitable, as does the low churn rate.

- Online shopping is well established in Norway, and the NOK112bn spent in 2015 is set to double over the next five years.

- The rollout of contactless and NFC-enabled payment terminals has been slow in Norway, but consumers are interested in the technology - they just don't know where it can be used.
