Triennial debit card penetration in France 2011-2024, by demographic
According to a three-year survey, more than eight out of 10 respondents from France owned a debit card in 2021 with 83 percent actually having used one. The difference between ownership and usage was roughly four percentage points in 2021, a figure comparable to the difference recorded in 2017. The report adds that men were only slightly more likely than women to own such a payment card in the European country. Gen Z - or the age group 15 to 24 years in this survey - was less likely to own a debit card than their older counterparts.
