Alternative and Contactless Payments Gain Traction in Hungary, Informs Timetric in Its Topical Report Recently Added at MarketPublishers.com

17 Aug 2016 • by Natalie Aster

LONDON – Nowadays, an uptake of alternative payments is witnessed in Hungary. This is primarily due to the emergence of a number of new payment options in the country. The latest of these is the launch of MasterCard’s (in association with OTP Bank) MasterPass in July of the previous year. The new service allows consumers to store their card details along with billing and shipping address details in one place, and also to make payments and P2P fund transfers.

Furthermore, contactless technology gains traction in Hungary, as payment service providers and banks promote contactless technology and also introduce novel services to spur its uptake. The rising adoption of contactless payments in the country encouraged local merchants to install POS terminals with a contactless payment facility. There were more than 114.8 thousand POS terminals in Hungary at the end of the past year; over 55% of these POS terminals had contactless payment functionality.
