The average value of online transactions rose 25% in the first quarter, to EUR50.
“In the first months of the year, the number of online transactions exceeding hundreds of euros also increased. The company processed nearly 1,000 payments of over EUR1,000 in the first months of the year. The first quarter growth is triggered, on one hand, by the increased confidence and adoption of online card payment in Romania, but also by the 150 new retailers attracted on mobilPay platform,” the company said in a statement Tuesday.
The biggest online transaction registered by the company in the first three months stood at EUR9,000.
Smartphone payments, via mobilPay Wallet, also registered a significant growth since the beginning of the year. The number of mobilPay Wallet transactions rose tenfold on the year in the first quarter 2014, while their value rose threefold.
The number of mobilPay Wallet transactions was also boosted by the introduction of the online payment method for public transportation in Alba Iulia, Turda and Cluj-Napoca.
