PROSPECTS

Charge cards underrepresented in official statistics due to technical reasons

In the Austrian market, there is little distinction between charge and credit cards. At the end of the review period when Austrians spoke of credit cards (“Kreditkarten”), they usually meant charge cards, with the concept of payment cards with a revolving line of credit remaining unknown to most local consumers.

Banks’ focus on credit cards expected to hamper charge cards

As issuing banks continue to seek new profit opportunities following the EU’s introduction of a cap on interbank fees, they are likely to more actively promote credit cards with revolving credit. However, consumer habits are expected to change only very slowly and card holders are unlikely to make strong use of revolving credit, instead paying off their bills monthly.

Online shopping and travel will remain key areas of use

While debit cards remained Austrians’ preferred financial card for everyday purchases at points-of-sale at the end of the review period, they generally used charge cards in other situations. According to newly published data from the Austrian National Bank, foreign transactions accounted for 53% of overall charge card transaction value in 2017, and charge card transactions with the card holder not present accounted for 46%.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Visa continues to make up ground on Mastercard

Mastercard remained the leading operator in charge cards in Austria at the end of the review period in terms of both number of cards in calculation and transaction value thanks to its strength in personal charge cards. However, second-ranked Visa gained significant share in number of charge cards in circulation over the review period, largely thanks to its strength in commercial charge cards, which are expected to significantly outperform personal charge cards over 2018-2023.

Issuers are increasingly promoting credit cards at the expense of charge cards

In terms of issuing banks, UniCredit Bank Austria accounted for the highest number of charge cards in circulation at the end of the review period. Due to its traditionally high share of business clients, it led all major Austrian banks in commercial charge cards, trailing only American Express.
