Varying preferences
Paying with a debit card or credit card is
a popular option in most of the markets.
This is particularly commonplace in
France, the United Kingdom and Belgium,
where consumers appear to have the
highest level of trust that their card details
will be handled securely. PayPal and
similar payment solutions are popular
in large parts of Europe, but not in the
Nordics and Belgium, where only about
a fifth use such services.. In Poland and
Germany other payment methods are
also at the top of the list. In Poland, direct
payment via banks is the most popular,
followed by cash on delivery (COD). In
Germany many people pay for their
purchases by invoice in arrears.
