That is just wrong though - pretty much in every country out there that has a good direct payments scheme exposed to customers, it is gaining market share at the expense of credit cards. Pix in Brazil and UPI in India are only two such examples, in both countries these are well on the way / are the dominant payment mechanism for ordinary consumers transacting with businesses.
