2016 and 2017 prove eventful years for financial cards in France

Many things changed in financial cards in France over 2016/2017. Thanks to a more favourable economic climate than over the bulk of the review period, the industry witnessed key juridical changes which often had a direct and sometimes delayed effect on the number and value sales of financial cards in circulation.

The unbalanced effect of new technology

Ongoing technological advancement was the main driver of financial card transaction volume and value. This was particularly true for 3D Secure technology, which fuelled online payments and the ongoing explosion of contactless payments, not only via debit, credit and charge cards but also store cards and pre-paid cards.

Cash, cheques and general purpose open loop pre-paid cards continue to fall out of favour

The aforementioned legal changes may further sound the death knell not only for cash but also certain cashless payments. Firstly, the European Central Bank ceased production of the EUR500 banknote in 2016.

Foreign operators set to gain ground

The competitive landscape in 2016 remained in the hands of French bank issuers such as BPCE, Groupe Crédit Agricole, Groupe Crédit Mutuel, Groupe La Poste, Société Generale and Groupe BNP Paribas, and the local operator Groupement des Cartes Bancaires (CB). The majority of MasterCard and Visa cards were co-branded with CB up until the end of 2016, with customers using CB by default when making payments.

The emergence of “Swiss knife cards” and digitalised payments for meals and gifts

Charge cards and credit cards issued by retailers were some of the most dynamic products in 2017. As consumers are tending to rationalise their portfolio of cards, they are increasingly seeking multifunctional cards, which are sometimes called “Swiss knife cards”.
