Abstract

In this study, the effect of pricing various payment transactions on the degree of their adoption has been studied by comparing payments in Norway (a country with transaction pricing) and Iran (a country without transaction pricing) through simultaneous equations. The results of estimating equation of payment services demands refer to the negative of price and positive effect of POS, ATMs, and income on the level of using such services. In addition, results indicate replacement of ATM and POS services. According to the findings, for decreasing liquidity in the society, the Central Bank can play a significant part by offering public training and necessary cultural and social ground among different social groups for using credit cards, and easy and secure access of POSs to the central SHETAB system.
