Digital payments are increasingly being made on King’s Day. Last year, 30 percent more tikkies were sent on this holiday than in 2022.
ABN AMRO saw that the number of ticker payments last King’s Day was six times higher than on a normal day. On average, Dutch people paid about 13 euros for their purchases via a tikkie. About 13 percent of purchases exceed 25 euros.
Based on the description you can read what people bought via a tikkie. Beer is the top favorite, followed by clothing and food.
Surprisingly, a visit to the toilet comes in fourth place. Private individuals regularly paid digitally for the use of their own toilet. “Dire need can lead to good cash flow,” says ABN AMRO. In fifth place are other items sold on the open market.
More payment requests are also sent at Rabobank on King’s Day. “The number of payment requests is increasing very rapidly,” says a spokesperson for the bank. “People are often out and about with their friends and payment requests via a QR code are often used on the flea market.”
