PROSPECTS

Introduction of contactless charge cards expected to produce limited growth

Charge cards continue to account for only a small portion of the overall value of financial cards in the Netherlands. Consumers do not see any added value in a charge card in a society in which acceptance of debit cards is pretty much universal.

Entertainment industry offers a little growth potential for Dutch charge cards

Key usage areas for charge cards in the Netherlands include popular international online subscription-based entertainment services such as Netflix and Spotify or buying from foreign internet websites. However, Dutch online retailers encourage payment with debit card, as this is cheapest option for them, while bricks-and-mortar stores also prefer to take payment by debit card.

Charge cards remain popular among the Dutch for use broad

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.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Mastercard the largest charge card operator

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.

ICS the largest charge card issuer

International Card Services (ICS) remained the leading issuer of charge cards in the Netherlands in terms of charge card circulation and transaction value in 2018. ICS offers a wide variety of both Visa and Mastercard operated charge cards and uses competitive offers to attract consumers.

ICS train payment project could mean wider use of charge cards in the future

Since January 2019, ICS has been involved in a pilot project in which passengers can pay for their train journey using a charge card issued by ICS. This pilot project is being run on the rail route between Leiden and The Hague, with passengers able to “check in” and “check out” with their ICS charge card at the beginning and end of their journey.
