Visa, American Express or MasterCard cards to smoke again . Purchases paid for with plastic money grew again last year , after a 2012 decline and reached a total amount of 98.534 million euros , representing a slight increase of 1.18 % over the previous year , but served to break the record in economic pillar . The data, published by the Bank of Spain , reflect a turning point in summer: spending fell in the first two quarters , 3.12% and 0.37% , respectively , to return to positive territory in the third (1.65 %) and to a considerable spurt in the fourth (6.26 %) , influenced by the tax effect in 2012, which was very bad for sales.
It's the same quarter in credit demand by the public for consumption recorded its first increase since the beginning of the crisis and the same on the demand of households improved 0.5% from the previous quarter, although December trade data were negative.
Cash withdrawals just its third year of declines
However, the recovery of plastic money ( in debit and credit) is much higher than the actual improvement in consumption growth because of the practice of paying by card even factors like penetration of use involved in some sectors of the population ( the end of the day this is a relatively recent phenomenon Spain , just over half a century ) and the highest willingness to pay some products and services ( most ticket machines underground , for example, permit and increasingly taxis are charging terminals ) .
This explains why , despite how hard these five years of crisis in which trade closed each year with falling sales, the volume of purchases with debit or credit card only down in 2009 and 2012.
Cards in circulation rise for first time since 2008
In addition , in 2013 also influenced by the fact that the Government has prohibited to make cash payments from 2,500 euros , a move that came into force in November 2012 to combat fraud . According to the tax experts argue , while the underground economy ( cash premium payments over the use of tajeta ) increased during the first phase of the crisis, now has moderated .
The Spaniards, in any case , have been less money in their pockets , as the data show. The total amount withdrawn from ATMs in reverse closed 2013 , adding 109 233 000 , 1.22% less than in 2012 , representing the lowest level since 2006, when 107 976 000 were removed . The declining availability of ATMs since the outbreak of the banking crisis is also a drawback . Last year more than 4,000 ATMs, 7.18 % , a trend that has held since 2009 , when they began bankruptcies savings and mergers between institutions , which led to the closure of thousands of offices and therefore were removed also many machines. This 2013 fifth straight year of closure , finished with a park of 52,221 ATMs , which means you go back to 2003 , when there were about 52,000.
The POS terminals also fell last year by 12%, putting it at 1.322 million , in a year in the industry continued to drop .
What has been recovered , however , is the number of cards in circulation , which had been declining since 2009 due in part to the adjustment plans of households and as a result of mergers between banks. Last year ended with 69.75 million plastics , as colloquially says in the banking sector , 1.38% more , but far from the record set in 2008 , when the Spaniards possessed 76.40 million cards. The recovery last year due to the credit , which grew by 4.68 % to reach 43.26 million , while debit cards fell 3.58 %.
