Shoppers motivate enterprises for development
Mastercard CEE’s SME Monitor study has found that every third small or medium-sized business in Central and Eastern Europe introduced card payment on customer demand. 60 percent of respondents said card payment makes daily operations simpler, 46 percent opined that it is attractive for new customers and 28 percent claimed it offers a feeling of increased safety.
Data from Mastercard show that the number of mobile wallet payments is growing dynamically: Hungarians have already paid this way in shops more than 4 million times. This service is already available to the customers of Gránit Bank, OTP, K&H Bank, Budapest Bank and MKB Bank. //
