Industry Insights

The U.S. payment card industry has reached the point of saturation of credit card products, the maturation of debit card products and the accelerating penetration of prepaid cards will produce unprecedented challenges in the next five years. Card issuers are also facing a likely downward global economic cycle in the 2021 to 2023 period, dampening U.S. consumer spending and personal debt aversion.

Regardless, opportunities abound in the U.S, marketplace with the integration of mobile apps and other financial technology (Fintech) to capture payment volume. Migrating current and future card products to less complex and lower cost rewards programs is inevitable. Snippet counter marketing of competitor weaknesses in basic card pricing in late payment, balance transfers, cash advances and foreign transactions will likely emerge.

While risk management will be the key to the mitigation of card metrics during the next few years including credit lines, opportunities exist to market consumer friendly debt management through minimum payment waivers and short-term interest rate reductions.

It is imperative for U.S. payment card issuers to thoroughly review the effectiveness of current marketing channels, stem the rising tide of account attrition rates pervasive among major portfolios. Internet marketing has become intrusive over the past five years, diminishing brand value via the aggressiveness of online marketing via third parties.
