Payments in 2030: what it takes for the Netherlands to stay among Europe’s best

The Dutch payment market is one of the most efficient in Europe. For the Dutch Payments Association (Betaalvereniging Nederland), we researched what it takes to keep that position towards 2030. Based on more than 25 studies and expert interviews, the report covers five developments and 13 trends, showing that:

  • AI agents are expected to make purchases and payments on behalf of customers, with the largest impact from 2030
  • value is shifting from banks to wallets and platforms that control the customer relationship and data, which calls for a fairer distribution of the costs of infrastructure, compliance and security
  • key decisions are increasingly taken in Europe, so Dutch influence on Wero, the digital euro and new regulation depends on early involvement
  • fraud and cyber threats require new forms of collaboration, both nationally and at European level

The report offers four strategic themes and twelve strategic questions that every payment institution can start addressing today.
