Financial Cards and Payments in Sweden
Market Direction I 2023-11-21 I 59 Pages I Euromonitor

While the use of cash in the country was already exceptionally low by global standards at the start of the review period, its role diminished further during the pandemic due to consumer hygiene concerns, which led to an increase in contactless payments.
