Credit cards

Credit cards allow consumers to draw on a line of credit to pay for goods and services.

Debit cards

Debit cards enable consumers to quickly pay for goods and services from their bank accounts, without the need to borrow money like a credit card.

Digital wallets

Digital wallets may contain multiple payment types: credit cards, debit cards, or bank transfers. Wallets typically require customer verification (e.g., biometrics, SMS, passcode) to complete a payment.

Direct debit and bank transfer

Direct debits and bank transfers let consumers pay directly from their bank account.

{68485048-B65C-40F9-A1F4-6958B0CCA921}
Buy now, pay later

Buy now, pay later—a type of installment payment—lets customers break down the cost of a purchase into a series of payments over varying time periods, while the merchant receives the full payment up front.

Prepaid cards and vouchers

Prepaid payment solutions let consumers load value onto a card or voucher—which they can then use to make purchases.

Cash payment vouchers

For online purchases, consumers receive a scannable voucher with a transaction reference number. Then, they can bring the voucher to an ATM, bank, convenience store, or supermarket to complete the payment in cash.

Cryptocurrency

With cryptocurrency, consumers pay for goods and services with blockchain-based digital currencies.

Your questions, answered

  • Which types of payment methods do customers typically prefer?

    Noriko, Payment Solution Expert

    Globally, bank transfers, digital wallets, and cash payment vouchers make up more than 70% of all consumer transactions. However, payment preferences can vary drastically from region to region. See our payment preferences market guide to help you understand how consumers prefer to pay in different regions around the world.

  • How do I determine which payment methods my business should offer?

    Noriko, Payment Solution Expert

    Your customers’ payment preferences in the markets and channels where you do business will have a large effect on which payment methods you choose to accept. For example, you may need to select a different set of payment methods for your US-based customers than your Canadian customers. As your customers’ preferences evolve, we’re there to meet them every step of the way.
