PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Improvements in economic conditions and financial literacy will underpin growth
Credit cards looks set to post relatively modest but consistent growth in circulation numbers and volume and current value transactions over the forecast period. With the recent spike in inflation having now largely receded and further interest rate cuts likely as the recovery of the Czech economy gains momentum, usage levels should be buoyed by increased confidence and spending among households and businesses.
Reward schemes set to remain a key battleground for issuers
As competition intensifies, the development of more attractive reward schemes by leading issuers should help to boost credit card transactions in volume and value terms over the forecast period. Cashback offers, exclusive discounts from select retailers and travel-related benefits will remain the chief areas for innovation in this regard.
Conservative borrowing habits and threat from alternatives will temper expansion
Despite reasonably solid growth prospects, the penetration of credit cards in Czech Republic over the forecast period is set to remain comparatively low. This is partly because local consumers have historically been quite conservative when it comes to borrowing.

Credit Card Transactions
Credit cards allow for purchases against a preapproved line of credit. The account holder has the choice of whether to pay off the entire balance each month or opt for monthly instalments with the balance serving as revolving credit. If the cardholder decides to revolve a balance, the consumer pays interest. Credit cards can include affinity cards, reward cards and types of co-branded cards. Co-branded retailer cards—issued by retailers acting as financial institutions and without usage restrictions—are included in this category. Cards issued by a retailer with usage limited to a specific store within a predefined retail group fall under the store cards definition. Debit cards with an overdraft function are not counted as cards with a credit function. Payments are tracked based on the country of residence / account issuance and include outbound spend while excluding inbound spend.
