Credit card figures in Malta reached over 180,000 in 2022, a number comparable to previous years. They made up roughly 15 percent of payment cards. Debit cards were found more often in the country, as that year there were around 700,000 of these cards. The numbers provided are estimates, based on the figures central banks have to supply. Owning a payment card does not immediately indicate it gets used, as there are large differences within Europe when it comes to the use of certain payment methods.
