The two pandemic years boosted the use of financial cards in Sweden. While the use of cash in the country was already exceptionally low by global standards at the start of the review period, its role diminished further during the pandemic due to consumer hygiene concerns, which led to an increase in contactless payments. At the same time, foreign spend with card-present transactions declined due to less travel abroad, whilst foreign spend benefited from cross-border e-commerce.
