Financial cards record growth in Italy

The economic recovery and prolonged war on cash, linked to increased awareness and knowledge of financial cards, resulted in growth of financial cards in Italy in 2017 in terms of cards in circulation, number of transactions as well as their total value. Growth was further supported by Italians becoming more used to payment instruments other than cash as a way to better control their expenses and to find more convenience with small as well as big purchases.

Innovation and technological developments

Innovation and product development remained key milestones for market players in order to increase their share. In addition, technological advances, for example, in terms of contactless technology, wearable devices, as well as fintech solutions, all positive affected the development and usage of financial cards, including for small purchases.

Booming mobile channel

Mobile devices are widespread in Italy, both in terms of smartphones as well as tablets. In addition, Italian consumers, living increasingly hectic lifestyles, are progressively appreciating solutions that allow them to make purchases on the go, and are at the same time safe, secure, flexible and convenient, representing an important development tool for financial card players.

All players invest in innovation

Players, both big and small, are looking to invest in product development and innovation in order to provide flexible solutions to consumers. Innovative solutions are not only able to drive consumers’ purchases, but can also increase their convenience, for example, through the integration of mobile payment solutions.

Bright future for financial cards

Over the forecast period, the use of financial cards is expected to continue to increase and progressively substitute cash in small as well as large transactions. In fact, Italian consumers are expected to be increasingly comfortable using cards, despite their strong cultural attachment to cash, and be willing to make their purchases using not only financial cards but also other innovative payment methods.
