2020 IMPACT

Pandemic drives the use of contactless payments on charge cards

The COVID-19 pandemic has been a driver in the use of charge card payments, as many consumers used digital payments instead cash as a way to avoid contact with cash, a potential driver of the virus. As a consequence, despite the fact that many consumers already owned a contactless card, many of them only started using the contactless function on such cards for the first time during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Diners Club offers extended repayment windows for consumers and zero commission on business payments

Players were trying to support consumers and businesses at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, Diners Club Italia Srl offered Diners Club members resident in the so-called “COVID-19 red zones” the possibility of extending repayment terms on their cards (by up to 60 days) and offered businesses zero commission on payments made through credit cards.

Increasing levels of food delivery help drive digital card payments

Food delivery has been strongly increasing during the COVID-19 pandemic as consumers changed their habits, due to the fact that restaurants were closed during the lockdown, at least for on-site dining. As a consequence, digital card payments strongly benefited from this trend, with such habits expected to remain ingrained among many Italian consumers in the future.
