2020 IMPACT

Struggling consumers attracted by non-interest instalment payments

Like debit cards and credit cards, in Argentina, store cards have also benefited from the shift away from cash payment. The main benefit of store cards is that they offer special discounts and the possibility of paying for something in instalments with no interest.

Overall demand continues to fall among Argentinian consumers

While inflation is making sure that store card current value transactions continue to climb, the number of cards in circulation fell further in 2020. Increasingly, retailers are opting to offer customers a credit card that is accepted in all stores.

Carrefour continues to dominate store card competitive landscape

With the great migration of a large number of Cencosud cards to MasterCard, the Carrefour card offered by Banco de Servicios Financieros is now the most important store card in Argentina. The main benefits of Carrefour cards are the possibility to access special discounts in outlets, payment instalment plans and the possibility of gaining better financing terms in some product areas, such as electronics, which tend to involve products at higher prices.
