The question was phrased by the source as follows: "Which payment services have you used in the past 12 months? (multi-pick)". In all editions before 2025, the source asked two questions - which were discontinued in 2025: "Which online payment services have you used in the past 12 months? (multi-pick)" and "Which of these services have you used in the past 12 months to pay in stores, restaurants or other points of sale with your smartphone? (multi-pick)".
The countries provided are part of the extended questionnaire within ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½app×îа汾's Global Consumer Survey, meaning there are no other countries with this same information. More information on the methodology can be found here.
For countries/territories receiving the extended questionnaire, the Global Consumer Survey utilizes a rolling survey system with four survey waves per year: The most recent data set contains the interviews of the last 12 months. This ensures trend stability and a higher number of interviews available for analysis, allowing you to adequately analyze smaller target groups, media, and brands.
