- Learn the Datamonitor Cards & Payments Team's view on the most important competitor developments in the month.
Highlights
- There are 55 competitor developments analyzed in the December edition of the Payment Card Competitor Tracker. This is slightly higher than the level in July (53) and nearly double August (30) but remains slightly below April (57).
- December saw interesting developments in mobile payments. The Sitges trial in Spain showed that mobile payment users spent more per transaction and spent more frequently than with cards. Although Visa and Telefonica were key players in the trial, the former has developed a microSD card which eliminates mobile operators from the business model.
- Prepaid cards have seen two key developments. MasterCard has shown its ambition to be a major player by acquiring Travelex's prepaid operations - the largest international prepaid cards issuer. Also in prepaid, FIS launched an e-financial account, similar to a simplified checking account that can be offered by non-financial institutions.
