Card payments refer to financial transactions wherein the payer uses a debit, credit, or prepaid card issued by a banking institution or financial services company to transfer funds to the payee. These transactions can be conducted in person, through point-of-sale (POS) terminals, online, or via mobile devices. Card payments facilitate instant payments and settlements, reducing the necessity for carrying physical cash and streamlining purchasing goods and services. Applications of card payments span across diverse sectors, including retail, eCommerce, banking, finance, healthcare, transportation, and government services, among others. End-users are broadly classified into individual consumers, businesses, and government entities, leveraging card payments for transactions ranging from routine purchases to large-scale procurement processes. Key factors driving the growth of the card payments market include advancements in technology, increasing global internet penetration, proliferation of eCommerce platforms, rising trend of mobile payments, and evolving consumer preferences towards cashless transactions. Regulatory support and initiatives promoting financial inclusion further accelerate the adoption of card-based payments across various demographics. However, the market faces challenges such as cybersecurity threats, privacy concerns, regulatory compliance requirements, and the risk of fraud. On the other hand, integrating blockchain for enhanced security, adopting contactless payment solutions, and developing biometric authentication mechanisms present notable opportunities within the card payments market. Expansion in emerging economies, where cash transactions still predominate, also offers significant growth prospects.
