Scope
  • Contactless cards have been increasingly gaining in popularity among Swiss consumers, especially since the outbreak of COVID-19. The total number of contactless cards rose from 15.7 million in 2018 to 20.5 million in 2022e at a CAGR of 6.9%; the figure is expected to rise to 25.6 million in 2026f. All major card scheme providers in the country raised the contactless payment limit on their cards from CHF40 ($43.87) to CHF80 ($87.74) in April 2020. Swiss Post’s financial services unit Post Finance further increased the contactless payment limit for its Post Finance Card to CHF100 ($109.67) in August 2021. These increased contactless limits are encouraging Swiss card holders to make higher-value contactless payments, which in turn is boosting card payment usage.
  • The advent of digital-only banks will further support payment card market growth. In October 2022, Swiss fintech firm Alpian launched a new banking platform to serve high-net-worth clients. It offers a Visa-branded metal debit card for holders to carry out foreign exchange transactions, withdraw money, and make contactless payments. Previously, challenger bank YAPEAL launched its services in Switzerland in July 2020. The bank offers a Swiss bank account along with a Visa debit card. In August 2021, it launched the youth banking service Yapini for children aged seven and above.
  • In a bid to curb rising inflation, the Swiss National Bank has increased its key benchmark interest rate. As of March 10, 2023, the interest rate stood at 1.0%, compared to -0.75% in March 2022. Surges in inflation and rises in interest rates will affect consumers’ purchasing power and borrowing costs, thereby impacting spending via credit cards.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
