PROSPECTS

Charge cards continues its decline

Charge cards registered the strongest fall ever in 2017 in current value terms. While many factors contributed to the decline, the most significant was strong competition from other cards such as credit cards, pre-paid cards and debit cards.

Charge cards remains a niche

Charge cards remained a niche category due to strong competition from debit cards, credit cards and prepaid cards. Credit cards was the strongest competitor as consumers prefer these, especially Sharia-compliant cards.

New reward programmes seek to boost customer base

American Express (Amex), the only operator of charge cards in Saudi Arabia, sought to attract more customers and boost the presence of charge cards in the country. Amex launched new programmes and offered new membership rewards.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

American Express the only operator of charge cards in 2017

American Express Saudi Arabia became the only operator of charge cards in 2017. Previously, Amex cards were only issued by one bank in the Kingdom, namely Saudi Investment Bank.

Saudi Investment Bank no longer an Amex issuer

In 2017, Saudi Investment Bank stopped issuing the American Express charge cards, which subsequently were issued only by American Express Saudi Arabia. Saudi Investment Bank previously accounted for the vast majority of charge cards in circulation.
