PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Growing competition from debit cards issued to mobile application users
Over the forecast period Morocco will see stronger competition between banks offering more attractive packages aimed at young adults, comprising a mobile application associated with a bank account and free debit card. As teenagers are seeking greater financial independence, and with smartphone ownership rates soaring, supported by population growth, the forecast period will likely be marked by an increasing number of debit cards issued to new mobile banking customers.

Morocco will see a rise in BNPL facilities over the forecast period, which aim to offer greater purchasing power to consumers, especially at a time of inflationary pressures on both households and businesses. There will be a larger number of BNPL providers in the market offering attractive point-of-sale loans enabling consumers to repay in instalments over a period of several months.
Charge cards likely to maintain greater popularity than credit cards
As Moroccan consumers will continue to avoid payment methods commanding high interest rates, with a view to avoiding falling into debt, charge cards are in a good position to remain more popular versus credit cards over the next few years. Besides, as the global tourism recovery is anticipated to remain dynamic over the next couple of years at least, with national and international airlines striving to offer better service and incentives to travel more frequently, the usage of charge cards by Moroccan consumers travelling abroad will provide further support to total transaction value, despite strong headwinds from competing payment methods available in the market.

Charge Card Transactions
A charge card (sometimes referred to as a Travel and Entertainment card) shares the “pay later” component with credit cards. However, charge card balances normally have to be paid off monthly and do not attract interest charges. Charge cards typically possess high (or even no) pre-set spending limits and may carry a high annual fee. Payments are tracked based on the country of residence / account issuance and include outbound spend while excluding inbound spend.
