Danes are Front-Runners in Electronic Payments
Danes prefer electronic payments, especially payment cards. In fact they use cards more than any other EU citizens. The electronic payments are supported by the payments systems which ensure that the payments are settled quickly and smoothly. E.g. it is possible to transfer funds in seconds. Denmark is a digital front-runner according to the European Commission's index. This is among other factors attributable to the targeted public-sector focus on digitisation.
