7European Credit Card Market
- Europe
- Debit cards are dominant for several reasons
- They have a very high penetration rate in most
markets as they tend to be issued as standard to
bank account holders. - They are used regularly by many consumers for
everyday purchases, such as groceries and petrol,
due to their convenience, ease of use and wide
merchant acceptance. - Credit cards represent the second largest
sector, with a share of 15 of value
transactions. - Credit cards are a mature sector in many
markets, and are well established with a wide
range of well-segmented products available. - Credit cards are generally reserved for larger
scale purchases than debit cards, but are used
less frequently.
- Poland
- Market is dominated by debit cards, but credit is
growing extremely fast (1998-2004 CAGR 78 2 to
16 issuers in 7 years) - Market is evolving rapidly as customers become
more sophisticated (features, utility, pricing,
rewards)
- UK
- With 55.3 of all credit cards, the UK market
dominates the rest of Europe. - Over the next few years the credit card industry
will achieve penetration of 73 of the
population, which will still be below current US
levels of around 85. - Only one in every seven new cards is issued to a
consumer that does not already have a card. - The consumer credit market is becoming more
price-sensitive, due partly to product comparison
websites. The long-term impact of this is likely
to be an erosion of margins and reduced loyalty.
- Czech Republic
- Credit cards emerged as the most dynamic
financial cards products between 1999-2004, - Growing 24-fold in the number of cards in
circulation - Credit cards are still far behind debit card
- Only 10 of all cards in circulation are credit
cards - The surge in demand for credit cards reflects
Czech consumers' rising disposable incomes.
DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE CREDIT CARD MARKET IS
LESS DEVELOPED, IT OFFERS THE HIGHEST POTENTIAL
FOR DYNAMIC GROWTH

8Bright future for Czech Credit Card Market
- Over the 2004-2009 period, the number of credit
cards in circulation is predicted to grow by
640. - As the market for debit cards matures, the mass
credit card market will create a new avenue for
business growth. - Volume numbers of credit card transactions are
predicted to achieve the highest growth rates
over the forecast period, well ahead of
transaction value, numbers of credit cards in
circulation and numbers of accounts. - This reflects the growing trend for people to use
their credit cards more often and for
increasingly smaller payments. - Credit cards in the Czech Republic will become
tools for everyday payments, shifting from the
previous focus on larger, more controlled
spending patterns. - Banks will introduce more usage benefits, as a
means of attracting more customers. - Card issuers will be enhancing their offering of
co-branded cards with the aim to offer to their
customers both, a higher added value and more
benefits.
