PROSPECTS

Aggressive product launches and promotions to support growth of credit cards

As credit cards are more profitable for operators than debit cards, there was an aggressive focus on the former. Targeted marketing was a very effective activity in terms of capturing specific customer groups.

Increasing online shopping will drive credit card growth

Online shopping value sales increased significantly over the review period. As consumers can easily make payments with their credit cards through most online shopping sites, the total value of credit card transactions increased significantly.

The trend towards micropayments intensifies in South Korea

As more consumers use credit cards, the value of such transactions grew strongly in South Korea. According to the Bank of Korea, spending per transaction fell over the period 2011-2016.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Shinhan Card Co leads credit cards by developing various types of cards for each customer group

Shinhan Card Co continued to lead credit cards in 2016. It ensured its leading position by developing targeted products for each customer’s needs and wants in South Korea.

Credit card operators look towards shopping and travel industries

As shopping and travel become very important business areas, most operators are actively developing and launching their products to target these areas. Shinhan Card Co made a strategic alliance with Hana Tour Co and provided up to a 10% discount through its credit cards.

Diversification to increase

With cards, customers can get extra points or more discounts through 18 major online shopping sites. As more operators focus on specific business areas and segmented groups in South Korea, there will be more diversification in terms of the credit cards launched.
