Monthly Card Payment Statistics

Description

The monthly card payment statistics provide data in relation to credit and debit card transactions undertaken by Irish resident households. The data includes the monthly value and volume of transactions across both credit and debit cards by Irish households. The data is collected from issuers of credit and debit cards and specifically from reporting agents that are resident in Ireland (including established foreign branches). The aggregate data is further broken down into, remote and non-remote card spending; contactless and mobile wallet card spending; sectoral card spending; domestic and non-domestic card spending; regional card spending in Ireland; and cash withdrawals. A breakdown of the number of credit & debit cards currently issued to Irish residents is also provided. Note, only Personal Cards are in scope for this reporting, business cards and cards issued to non-Irish residents are not included. Additionally, data files uploaded here follow the SDMX –ML format where Series Key are the primary identifier for a reporting period (Date for which the data is reported is represented in the Reporting Period field). For example : PCI.M.IE.W2.PCS_ALL.11.PN is the series key and each element/dimension between the delimiter “.” is expanded with a description in subsequent columns ending with the subscript “DESC” to understand the meaning of each element/dimension. The Observation_free column represents the value (€ EUR) or Volume (PN) of transactions depending on the last element/dimension, EUR or PN. For further information on the Payment Statistics Monthly, the reporting instructions in the Landing page link has additional details about the table and the column names used in this data collection.
