Colombia has roughly three times more debit cards in circulation than it has credit cards by the end of 2022. This is according to estimates created by Statista using domestic sources that discussed the number of cards per 10 adults. The number of cards in circulation is a relatively new topic in Colombia, as it was not reported until the coronavirus pandemic in 2020. Since that year, debit cards increased noticeably whereas the number of credit cards had remained unchanged. The numbers provided are estimates as Colombia does not provide many figures on payment cards.
Total number of credit cards and debit cards in circulation in Colombia from 2019 to 2022
No numbers were provided from before 2019; All figures are estimates, see the "Details" tab for more information.
Supplementary notes
All figures have been gathered from Statista from multiple publications and then calculated against Colombia's census figures from The National Administrative Department of Statistics, or DANE, for adult population. This because the original numbers discussed the number of cards per adult in the country, but did not provide the full figures, except for 2022.
