Dramatic drop in cash payment among young people under the age of 25
The number of cash payments is in decline. This is due to the increase in card payments and the use of services such as MobilePay.

Today, cash payment represents only 8% of total expenditure in Denmark compared to 2009 where the share was 15%. The most dramatic drop in cash payment is seen among young people under the age of 25, although the use of cash by seniors has also decreased and is today in line with other age groups.
