Credit cards dominate in Turkey, accounting for nearly 60% of eCommerce purchases. Credit card usage is expected to increase too, because of new regulations that allow card purchases to be spread out over 18 monthly installments.
Turkey is an example of how technology shaped itself on the backbone of consumer behavior. Turkey is typically an installments market, so in the advent of the Covid-19 pandemic, credit cards and their installments functionality proved to be factors in maintaining merchants afloat and boosting cashless payments. Mastercard and ING Turkey developed the Tapon-Phone solution that enables small merchants and Small and Medium Size Enterprises (SMEs) to turn a smartphone into a point-of-sale and accept contactless payments via near-field communication.
