London, UK (PRWEB) May 05, 2015
Across Europe, the UK is deemed to be the largest and extremely competitive industry for payment cards, which accounted for just over 17.5% of the region’s overall transaction value and 20.3% of its total transaction volume as of 2014. The country’s market is mature, characterised by a high rate of penetration of credit and debit cards. Following the financial crunch, banks and card issuing companies were made to introduce bespoke products and services to protect their market share.
Consumers in the country, particularly the rising generation, are increasingly opting for more secure and faster payment options. This has resulted in cellular operators, different types of retailers as well as other service providers introducing quick and effective digital payment methods. Hence, payment cards will likely lose market share to alternative payment means over the next five years.
Owing to the gradual revival of the UK’s economy and rising employment opportunities starting from 2013, consumers have begun using credit cards oftener, though typically for low-value transactions at point-of-sale (POS) terminals as they rely on benefitting from low-rate long duration balance transfer facilities and various reward programmes.
