Project
The Swiss Payment Monitor examines the payment behavior of the Swiss population since 2018. It is a long-term study series. With the help of representative survey data, which is collected twice a year, and publicly available data on digital payments, the consumer perspective and the macroeconomic perspective are linked. The result is a holistic all-round view of the payment behavior of the Swiss population.
The Swiss Payment Monitor is a joint research project between the University of St.Gallen and the ZHAW Zurich University of Applied Sciences. It is supported by the Swiss Payment Association (SPA) and the industrial partners Nets (Nets Schweiz AG) and Worldline | SIX Payment Services.
