Highlights

Despite its history of high inflation and volatile growth, the Turkish economy has settled and is supporting a rapidly growing payment card market. Growth in terms of card in issue has grown at 25 per cent a year for the last five years, but the number of cards per consumer is still relatively low, indicating future growth potential.

Pay later cards, specifically revolving credit cards, are very popular in Turkey, accounting for around 40 percent of all cards in issue, a much higher figure than in most Western European countries.

Turkish credit card issuers are amongst the most innovative in the world. Issuers have very attractive loyalty programs and offer a choice of retailers where points can be earned or spent. One issuer has successfully introduced contactless payments in Istanbul.
