PROSPECTS

Debit card issuance growth slows in 2017

The appeal of debit cards overlaps somewhat with that of pre-paid cards amongst the key 18-29-year-old segment. Debit card numbers and usage soared over the review period due to collaborations between EasyCard and credit and debit card issuers, but has begun to slow considerably in 2017.

Mobile payment technology coming to debit cards

Rapid developments in mobile payment technology that have taken part in other consumer payment areas did not have any significant impact on debit cards until mid-2017. EMVCo, a joint venture of six international card issuers - VISA, MasterCard, JCB, China UnionPay, American Express and Discover - announced the introduction of a universal QR code method for mobile payments in Taiwan for the last quarter of 2017, with further expansion expected later in 2018.

Online bank carves debit card niche out of untapped segment

O-Bank, Taiwan’s first pure online bank, was created when Industrial Bank of Taiwan changed its status from an industrial bank to a commercial bank in early 2017, with a key focus on debit cards. Within six months of making this transition, O-Bank had achieved a high card utilisation rate with the key user group of men aged between 30 and 39.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Dominant players retain strong position

Cathay Financial has further strengthened its dominant position in debit cards in transaction value terms, with the company being one of only two banks to launch a new debit card product - the Koko I-PASS debit card. In addition, the bank also slightly improved its share in terms of number of debit cards issued, remaining the second largest player.

Visa continues to dominate transactions

Visa remains the dominant operator in Taiwan in transaction value terms, while the largest operator in terms of cards in circulation continues to be Financial Information Service due to its mass issuing of debit cards with Smart Pay functionality, which is typically integrated with ATM cards in Taiwan. This has led to a situation whereby a large number of cards are in circulation with minimal consumer awareness and low merchant acceptance.

Debit cards lack lustre amongst both issuers and consumers

Financial cards players are under significant pressure to consolidate resources into areas which can help grow associated products and services beyond financial cards. Debit cards, on the other hand, have niche appeal in Taiwan – generally amongst younger people and consumers seeking to manage spending and cash flow issues.
