About this Report

About this Report

The leading US-based international card networks dedicated significant capital to acquisitions in 2010 and 2011 to further boost internet and mobile payment processing capabilities. As the operators looked to establish a competitive edge domestically, they expanded merchant acceptance abroad, which contributed to consistent card payment value growth. Domestic operating schemes gained share, led by China UnionPay and JCB in Asis-Pacific.
