Fragmented yet thriving: the Nordic payment landscape

A few years ago, many expected the world to settle on just a few universal payment methods. But exactly the opposite is happening.

Each year, Visa Consulting & Analytics (VCA) conducts a comprehensive study of the Nordic payments landscape, examining the unique characteristics of DenmarkFinlandIcelandNorway, and Sweden

The findings from 2024 reveal a startling degree of fragmentation throughout the Nordic region in:

  • Banking relationships 
  • Card payments
  • Uptake of alternative payment methods like digital wallets and A2A payments

This turbulence represents opportunities: incumbent players can consolidate their position, while challengers have a chance to gain a foothold.
