€1 in every €3 spent is via Visa card

Visa’s Irish operations had a record year in 2014 with €28.4bn being spent by consumers via the payments technology firm’s products.

The total covers use of credit, debit and pre-paid Visa cards; as relates to online and point-of-sale transactions. It marks a 32% rise on the previous year.

This fresh surge in Visa products, here, means that €1 in every €3 spent last year by Irish consumers was via a Visa card.
