Last week's poll at WebWereld was about Internet payments. There were about 2800 respondents. These use the following payment mechanisms:
- 36 %, acceptgiro (inpayment),
- 36 %, credit card
- 14 %, cash on delivery
- 8 %, I never buy on the web,
- 5 %, different mechanisms,
- 1 %, switchpoint.
2230 respondents also filled in additional questions, which show the following usage of alternative payment mechanisms:
- 21 %, paypal,
- 13 %, rabo direct
- 4 %, way2pay,
- 1 %, www-bon
- 1 %, wallie-card,
- 0 %, moxmo,
- 64 % none of the above.
What we learn is that the first movers Paypal and Rabo have apparently succeeded best in finding their niche as a payment mechanism. Way2Pay's 4 % and Wallie-cards 1 % are encouraging, given their recent start. But where these end up, no one knows.
