Annual credit card and debit cards issued in France 2005-2022
Credit card figures in France reached around 15 million in 2022, a significant increase from previous years. They made up less than 20 percent of payment cards. Debit cards were found more often in the country, as there were over 70 million of these cards in 2022. The numbers provided are estimates, based on the figures central banks have to supply. Owning a payment card does not immediately indicate it gets used, as there are large differences within Europe when it comes to the use of certain payment methods.
