At the same time, a high specific weight of payment cards on the volume of transactions and a low specific weight on value of transactions are due to the use of this payment instrument primarily for operation with small sums.

         During the specified period checks and collection orders are used the least frequently. The insignificant part of use of given instruments in total volume and value is caused by their specificity.
