Scope

• Contactless payments are gaining popularity in the Czech Republic. According to the Czech Bank Card Association, the number of contactless cards in the country increased from 8.1 million in 2015 to 11.9 million in 2019 at a review-period CAGR of 9.9%. The number is anticipated to further increase to 12.8 million by 2023. In addition to contactless cards, contactless mobile wallets and wearables are also being used for payments. For instance, Apple Pay users can use compatible Apple watches for purchases and payments. In the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic, which requires people to avoid close social contact, contactless card holding and usage for payments are anticipated to increase significantly going forward.
• Payment cards have been embraced by public transport providers to improve the convenience of making payments for journeys, which in turn promotes the attractiveness of using public transport. Visa partnered with The Prague Public Transit Co. to set up contactless payment terminals for Prague Trams, allowing travelers to pay for tickets using payment cards, mobile phones, and wearable technologies.
• To capitalize on electronic payment growth in the country, Apple Pay was launched in the Czech Republic in February 2019. Apple Pay enables users to make contactless in-store, in-app, and online payments. Users can add their debit and credit cards to Apple Pay by scanning them with their phone's camera or by entering the details manually. Meanwhile, NFC-based mobile wallet RaiPay was launched by Raiffeisen Bank in October 2019. The app enables convenient and contactless in-store payments, as well as cardless ATM withdrawals. However, it only supports Mastercard-branded payment cards issued by Raiffeisen Bank.
