Bratislava, July 19 (TASR) - The latest consumer survey out on Monday found that payment cards are increasingly popular with Slovaks, who are also using them for purchases abroad.
The MasterIndex survey conducted by MasterCard showed that a thumping majority of 92 percent of Slovaks travelling abroad take their payment cards with them, although 16 percent of them never actually use them there.
Slovaks aged between 30-39 are most likely to take payment cards abroad, with 30 percent of them using the cards for all or at least two-thirds of their payments.
In June, 67 percent of Postova bank customers used payment cards to settle cashless transactions. Withdrawals from cash dispensers in the month of June soared by 259 percent when compared to the average for the first six months of 2010.
