2020 IMPACT

Already struggling charge cards affected by impact of COVID-19 on travel

Unlike debit and credit cards, in Argentina charge cards has not benefited from the shift away from cash among consumers fuelled by COVID-19. The pandemic brought the majority of business travel to a halt in Argentina, both nationally and internationally, as government travel restrictions and company no-travel policies were implemented.

Capacity for development limited by exit of Anses

With the withdrawal of the Argenta card, which was issued by Anses, the number of charge cards in circulation and value transactions have nosedived. Indeed, the Argenta card used to account for more than 90% of the total number of charge cards circulating in Argentina.

American Express remains sole charge card player operating in country

The only player still present in charge cards in Argentina is American Express, which itself accounts for only a very low number of transactions and cards. The company is perceived as a very exclusive card that is targeted at consumers in higher socioeconomic groups.
