Data card
In order to promptly analyse real-time effects on economic activity, it is essential to have access to card transaction data which give an accurate representation of developments on the consumption side. Nordea’s Nordic card transaction data are exceptionally well suited for this purpose.
• When analysing card transaction data, it is important to ensure that changes in payment methods do not obscure the real picture. Cash payments have likely decreased due to the coronavirus pandemic. Hence, card transaction data may somewhat underestimate the true declines in certain sectors, but this should not markedly affect the overall picture. On the other hand, consumers are increasingly making purchases through online banking or by other payment methods than cards, e.g. invoice payments, which are not included in our card transaction data. For this reason, card
transaction data may somewhat overestimate the decline in certain sectors and underestimate the recovery. As the above mentioned phenomena have varied among the Nordics, the comparison between the countries contains some uncertainty.
• The data classification methodology used seeks to follow general payment code definitions wherever possible.
• The data excludes foreign purchases and includes cards registered to both households and businesses.
