Debit Cards Category Led Mexican Card Payments Industry in 2008-2012, According to Timetric Report Published at MarketPublishers.com
London, UK (PRWEB) January 21, 2014 -- Mexico’s card payments industry performed well during 2008-2012, with the debit cards category being the key growth driver with a CAGR of about 13.2% in terms of the number of cards in circulation. The transactions made using debit cards were of the highest value, standing at around USD 200 billion in 2012. Across the credit card category, the total transaction value reached close to USD 35.5 billion in the same year. Meantime, the high growth potential of the prepaid card segment is irrefutable; the category is set to grow with a CAGR of just under 7.85% through 2017. The volume of prepaid cards in circulation is poised for the fastest growth, posting a forecast CAGR of around 5.7%. The category is expected to be supported by the launch of MiFon, a general purpose reloadable card. Additionally, the increasing popularity and expansion of government benefit cards, government payroll cards, prepaid gift and transport cards are set to bode well for the prepaid card category growth.
Remittances will likely be the major base for expanding payments using cards. As remittance inflows declined due to immigration restrictions implemented by the US government in 2012, some banks (such as Banorte and Banamex) increased their offerings of prepaid cards for remittances, and money transfer firms (for instance MoneyGram) have developed special schemes to facilitate direct fund transfers from the United States to Mexico via credit or debit cards.
