PROSPECTS

Low interest rates play in favour of credit card transactions

The European Central Bank (ECB) continued its ultra-loose monetary policy in 2018. Its benchmark interest rate was 0.

The Payment Services Directive (DSP) regulates interchange fees

Legislation related to interchange fees entered into force in 2016, imposing a limit of 0.2% for transactions operated with debit cards and 0.

The consumer switch from revolving credit to traditional personal credit

In order to combat over-indebtedness, the authorities decided to implement a range of laws over the review period. The Lagarde Law and the Hamon Law amended the rules to control the distribution of revolving credit, obliging merchants and issuers to offer an alternative.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Co-branded credit cards continue to account for the lion’s share

The competitive landscape in credit cards is dominated by co-branded cards, which are issued by retailers acting as financial institutions, or by specialised financial institutions linked to banks which have signed partnerships with retailers. These types of cooperation arrangements have gained popularity amongst players, who are using these products as loyalty cards, offering rewards in the form of discounts on some products, or more recently cash back bonuses.

The emergence of cash back bonuses to win consumers’ loyalty

Whilst offering cash back bonuses remains a limited practice in France, some retailers are attempting to increase the use of cash back in order to increase consumers’ loyalty and spending. The major retailer of media products Fnac launched a credit card issued by Crédit Agricole Consumer Finance and operated by Mastercard in 2017.

Instalment payments as a strategy to diversify

Strategies to develop instalment payments in France were particularly productive following tighter control on revolving credit. This forced players to raise the use of personal credit linked to credit cards, with some notable successes, such as Banque Casino and Oney Bank.
