Monthly stock of the Swiss card landscape: number of credit cards, debit cards and e-money cards in circulation, plus the count of ATMs. It is a counts-only cube (no turnover), so it reads as the installed base behind the flow cube zavezaluba. The distinctive feature is the "of which with contactless payment function" subtotal (DZ0/DZ1/DZ2), which only begins in late 2014 once contactless rolled out, so those three series start 2014-12 while the card totals run back to 2005. The single Total ATM series (T3) sits in the same cube despite being a different unit (machines, not cards).
