Store Cards - Portugal

The current economic crisis, together with the stricter restrictions on credit concession, has led to increases in store card figures. This is because some store cards include a credit function and therefore can be useful for purchasing more expensive goods. Nevertheless, the current trend that has led to people to use their credit cards less in an attempt to better manage their income expenditure has also benefited store cards, as they provide access to discounts.
