PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Debit cards will maintain popularity – despite rising competition from modern payment methods
Debit cards will maintain popularity, despite rising competition from modern payment methods. One reason for this is a preference for debit cards over credit cards with Generation Z, for example, which is a generation which tends to opt for better-managed finances instead of risking running up debt (aka with interest fees on credit cards).
Debit cards see both competition and opportunities with the rise of mobile wallets
Debit cards see both competition and opportunities with the rise of mobile wallets. While mobile wallets offer an alternative payment method to debit cards (competition), debit cards are also increasingly used in mobile wallets such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay.
Government measures to reduce consumer credit ahead
The Spanish economy is performing relatively well, which stimulates higher consumption, and higher levels of consumer credit. Such positive-looking developments mean an uptick in consumer lending, however, due to concerns expressed by the Bank of Spain in the past, Spanish banks continue to apply restrictions on new consumer credit in order to reduce the risk of inability concerning repayments.

Debit Card Transactions
Debit cards merge the functionality of both an ATM card and direct payment from a bank account (a check substitute in some markets). A debit card allows the cardholder to receive cash and monitor account activity at an ATM machine, as well as pay for goods and services via a point-of-sale terminal. A debit card payment transaction involves the automatic withdrawal of funds from the cardholder’s demand deposit bank account (checking or giro). Since the funds are removed from a bank account, no interest is charged on payments. Payments are tracked based on the country of residence / account issuance and include outbound spend while excluding inbound spend.
