COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
The competitive landscape consolidates
Mastercard was the leading operator in 2024, with Visa accounting for the remaining shares in terms of cards in circulation and transaction value. These operators consolidated their positions following the decision of American Express, formerly the dominant operator and issuer, to cease offering charge cards to local companies in the Czech Republic.
Improving financial conditions and added-value incentives offer some respite
Loyalty programmes and the offer of added-value incentives, such as business travel insurance and concierge services by UniCredit Bank Czech Republic & Slovakia created some interest. Usage was also piqued by much slower, if still significant, inflation and greater economic activity.

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.
