¹ Total number of cards only includes "plastic cards". ² 2020: Change in data source from Canadian Banker's Association to VISA and Mastercard Operational Statements. This figure includes prepaid and gift cards. ³ All cards issued in Canada are mag stripe enabled, and all cards issued past 2010 have contactless technology. Based on an approximate turnover rate of 5 years for credit cards in Canada, the total of contactless and mag stripe cards is equivalent to the total of all cards in Canada from 2015 onwards ⁴ Data only reported for American Express cards. Not available prior to 2017. ⁵ Only available for 2017 and 2018. ⁶ In the process of revising data source. 2018: Data not yet available. Waiting on October 15th CBA Report.
