PROSPECTS

Introduction of contactless charge cards expected to produce limited growth

The debut of contactless charge cards in the Netherlands was witnessed earlier in the review period, and yet it remains difficult to attribute significant growth to the launch. The growth rates of charge cards in the Netherlands have been consistent.

Charge cards remain popular with Dutch travellers

While debit cards are more popular than charge cards for most payment purposes in the Netherlands, charge cards have a distinct advantage over Dutch debit cards when it comes to foreign travel. The dominant debit card Maestro (owned by Mastercard) is not widely accepted abroad, while Mastercard and Visa charge cards usually are.

Entertainment industry offers limited growth opportunities for Dutch charge cards

In addition to foreign travel, one key industry for charge cards in the Netherlands is popular international subscription-based entertainment services with online entertainment of international origin such as Netflix and Spotify. Within transactions related to such services, growth is possible.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Contactless charge cards introduced by largest banks

Two of the three largest banks have introduced contactless charge cards. International Card Services introduced the feature prior to 2016, while Rabobank commenced issuing contactless capable charge cards in July 2017, while ING had not introduced it by the end of the review period, and it is unclear when or if it will.

Mastercard remains largest operator of charge cards

Three charge card operators exist in the Netherlands: Mastercard, Visa and American Express. Mastercard remains the leader in terms of share for both number of cards in circulation and transaction value.

International Card Services remains largest issuer in the Netherlands

International Card Services remained the leading issuer of charge cards in the Netherlands in terms of charge card circulation and transaction value in 2017. It held twice as much share as its nearest competitor ING Groep in cards in circulation and American Express in terms of transaction value.
