All levels and growth rates are seasonally adjusted, except for those relating to the New Payments Platform and cards on issue. The data are not adjusted for the effects of breaks in the series. Historical levels and growth rates for the retail payments statistics may be revised due to the resubmission of data by some reporting institutions and the re-estimation of seasonal factors.
