2016
The Danish Payments Council has published a report about non-banks in the payments market in Denmark and abroad. Non-banks comprise a wide range of firms, spanning from small fintech start-ups providing high-tech payment services to large, global firms deciding to include payments in their business area. Among other things the report concludes, that so far, non-banks have gained only a limited foothold in the payments market in Denmark, but especially some of the global firms has the greatest potential to become significant players in the Danish payments market. New Danish non-banks focus mainly on services linked to payments. This could e.g. be solutions to replace paper receipts and slips, digital checkout systems and e-invoices that are automatically read into the payer's ERP system.
The Danes use relatively less cash in retail stores today than they did just a few years ago. New payment solutions are rapidly gaining ground and could present alternatives to cash. Although Denmark is not moving towards a cashless society, the tendency for cash to play a smaller role as a means of payment will continue. The Danish Payments Council has made a report on the role of cash in society.
