KARACHI, Jan 16: Pakistan is second only to China, and much ahead of India in the region, in adoption of credit and debt card payments as Rs15 billion transactions were made through Visa international cards in just one quarter of July to September 2006.
“Cardholders used their cards most often to purchase retail goods that constituted almost 39 per cent of their Visa purchases, followed by 26 per cent transport, nine per cent professional and commercial services, eight per cent in restaurants and food outlets, four per cent healthcare and four per cent in accommodation,’’ James Murray, the Executive Vice President (South and Southeast Asia), Visa International, said.
