Value of transactions with card-linked and non-card-linked wallets in online shopping in the United Kingdom (UK) in 2023, with a forecast for 2028

Card-linked wallets are predicted to take up the vast majority of e-commerce spending conducted with digital wallets in the UK by 2028. This is according to hybrid research released in 2024, which - depending on the country - either used database modeling or data acquired via a consumer survey. Wallets ranked relatively high among the UK's most-used online payment methods. In contrast, the adoption of wallets in the UK was relatively lower, when compared to other countries worldwide.
