Abstract

The digital age in which we live has brought changes to the financial and payments industry. Whereas until recently banknotes and coins were in power, in recent years electronic money has become the main player in payments. Due to political regimes up to the 1990s, Eastern European countries were late to access financial innovations. However, in recent years, the market for bank cards has been dynamic in this part of the EU as well. This paper analyses the types of cards present on the Hungarian, Bulgarian and Romanian markets. The comparative study of the evolution of the number of cards over a period of 7 years will show us which are the common and individual characteristics. The paper is relevant for analysts and the public because it also captures the period of the Covid 19 pandemic. At the end some directions for future studies are presented.
