Development of the Payment Cards Market in Poland in the Era of the COVID-19 Pandemic

Summary/Abstract: Research background: In the era of the COVID-19 pandemic, the tendency of bank customers to use mobile banking is increasing. This is primarily due to the perceived ease and benefits of its use and the subjective assessment of the level of security of such a system. The main goal will therefore be to create such a mobile banking system, which in the era of pandemics, in addition to an easy-to-use interface, will also offer increasingly advanced technological solutions that will provide the customer with a high level of security. In order to meet the expectations of customers, banks will continue to develop and improve the most popular channels of distribution of their services, which are undoubtedly payment cards. Purpose: The purpose of this article is to define and classify non-cash payment instruments on the Polish banking services market in the COVID-19 pandemic era. Research methodology: To examine the current situation prevailing in the payment card market, as well as the factors determining the development of non-cash payments and the direction of future changes in the COVID-19 pandemic era. The research used models of development tendency (trend), and then applied them to forecast changes that will take place on the payment cards market in Poland at the end of 2021 and in 2022. The analysis was carried out using the STATISTICA 13.3 program. Results: a payment card is one of the best options for obtaining cash and every year the traditional cash in the wallet is being displaced more and more by “plastic money”. Novelty: Furthermore, technological advances will bring new solutions to the payment card market and at the same time the e-money market will develop.
