PROSPECTS

Rewards drive credit card spend

In 2017, personal credit cards registered steady growth in both volume and retail value transaction terms. Commercial credit cards registered slightly lower growth in 2017 as compared to 2016 in terms of cards in circulation as economic circumstances affected customers in the segment.

Credit scoring to benefit the credit card landscape

In 2017, Etihad Credit Bureau launched customer credit scores, which aimed to identify the creditworthiness of customers applying for credit cards or other loans. Industry sources reported that banks increasingly made use of the reports during the year.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Visa retains its leadership though MasterCard continues to grow faster

Visa continued to dominate credit cards, shadowing its leadership in debit cards. However, MasterCard gained share as it registered growth in terms of cards in circulation.

Leading banks continue to win share by targeting lifestyle trends

Emirates Bank, Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank, Mashreq Bank and National Bank of Abu Dhabi remain the leading players, while Emirates NBD was prominent in both personal and commercial credit cards. Mashreq Bank led commercial credit cards in terms of cards in circulation though Emirates NBD led in retail value share terms due to a higher average transaction value.

Banks adopting Samsung Pay and Apple Pay gain competitive advantage

Mashreq Bank led the launch of Samsung Pay in the country in mid-2017, which was also adopted by Emirates NBD, National Bank of Abu Dhabi and RAKBank. Apple announced six banks that would be able to provide their customers with Apple Pay, which included Emirates NBD, Mashreq bank, Standard Chartered bank, HSBC and RAK Bank.
