Highlights

Payment cards are the second most accepted payment form across the region, after cash. In terms of increasing card payments, merchants suggest that discounts on card payments and improved card loyalty programs are key.

The region has witnessed a breakdown of the traditional processing model, with interbank processors giving way to third party processors. Acquirers across the region are outsourcing functions such as data processing, customer service, terminal maintenance and fraud operation

Processing is a scale activity. Low margins have contributed to a consolidation of the processing market across the region. The biggest mergers and acquisitions have been between Interpay and Equens (the Netherlands), GZS and First Data (Germany), and SIA and SSB (Italy).

Reasons to Purchase
  • Understand how the payment card market is evolving in your market, giving valuable insight and competitive edge
  • Discover the likely outcome of SEPA implementation and a possible reduced level of domestic interchange on the payment industry
  • Learn how to encourage more card payments in your market
