PROSPECTS

Strong credit cards offer hampers charge penetration

Although there was strong growth both in value and volume transactions recorded by charge cards in 2018, its penetration in the country remains low, a tendency which is set to continue over the forecast period with charge cards anticipated to increase at a slower pace in the number of transactions. Furthermore, the scarcer offer compared to credit cards, and the lack of campaigns capable of promoting the products has also been fuelling the trend.

Economy improves to fuel charge cards’ growth

As the economy grows and companies see their business volumes rise, the demand for charge cards tends to increase. However, by targeting larger companies as a way for employees to pay expenses, the potential for charge cards to grow may be jeopardised by the way the Portuguese corporate framework is constituted.

Pre-paid cards could also limit performance of charge cards

Whilst financial players are set to continue to focus on promoting the security features and insurance packages of charge cards, growing interest for corporate open loop pre-paid cards as a way to help companies to control expenses with lower risks in the event of loss or theft are anticipated to negatively impact growth of charge cards.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Banco Comercial Português leads charge cards

With a strong client base, Banco Comercial Português was the leading issuer of charge cards, both in number of cards in circulation as well as transaction value. The bank’s portfolio includes three charge cards: Visa Corporate Silver, Visa Corporate Gold and TAP Visa Business.

Competition grows although number of players remains low

In the concentrated charge cards competitive environment, a new player entered in 2017. Focusing on reinforcing its position in the corporate segment, Banco Português de Investimento expanded its portfolio to charge cards.

Mastercard records best performance amongst operators

As a result of the 2016 legislation that introduced changes in the way payments are processed in the country, allowing consumers to choose the scheme used in co-badged cards, the number of single-badged cards in circulation increased as a way for international operators to regain lost commissions with the alteration. In charge cards, both Visa and Mastercard witnessed non-co-badged cards increase, driving the high decline of SIBS in the number of cards in circulation.
