The number of pre-paid cards in the Czech Republic continued to rise in 2025. The number of open loop pre-paid cards continued to rise at a faster rate than that of closed loop pre-paid cards. This was partly due to this growth being derived from a lower base, but also because some consumers were put off by using cards restricted to one retailer, when wider-ranging options were available.
