PROSPECTS

Booming Dutch economy drives growth in charge card transactions

The number of charge cards in circulation increased in 2017 due to the booming economy, which increased interest amongst commercial companies and consumers. Charge cards are mainly issued to students and commercial companies that are unable to receive revolving credit.

Travel supports use of charge cards

Like credit cards, charge cards are also often used when travelling and for paying for goods and services online. Consumers use charge cards in instances where they cannot use their debit cards and as such there still remains a barrier to their usage in the Netherlands.

Charge card usage limited by preference towards debit cards

Dutch consumers do not differentiate between a credit card and a charge card and as a result, behavioural use of these cards is the same. As such, Dutch consumers will always prefer debit cards ahead of charge cards, because they are cautious with their expenditure and want to only spend what they have in their accounts.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

American Express is renowned player in charge cards

American Express remained as the most renowned issuer and operator of charge cards in the Netherlands as it only offers these cards in its portfolio. Other leading charge card issuers such as International Card Services for instance also offer credit cards to their customers, and consumers are not well versed with the differences between them.

International Card Services leading issuer of charge cards in the Netherlands

Although International Card Services is the main issuer of charge cards, the company remains less dynamic in its offer of service, hardly differentiating its portfolio of credit and charge cards. The same applies to the other major issuers: Rabobank, ING and ABN AMRO which are also inactive when it comes to promoting their cards.

MasterCard’s low fees attract consumers

MasterCard is the biggest operator in terms of cards in circulation and transaction value, followed by Visa and American Express. MasterCard charge cards are the least expensive when it comes to yearly costs and therefore the cardholders also spend less per card compared to Visa cardholders.
