PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Volume and value transactions set to contract throughout the forecast period
Store cards looks set to see volume and current value transactions decline consistently over the forecast period. Interest in these instruments will continue to wane in line with growing consumer migration to alternative payment solutions that enjoy wider acceptance and are perceived to offer superior functions and benefits, primarily debit and credit cards but also certain types of pre-paid cards and digital wallets.
Store card use likely to remain higher in smaller and regional cities
Store cards should continue to have a broader appeal in smaller and regional cities than in major population centres such as Bogota and Medellin over the forecast period. This is mainly because the former locations tend to have higher concentrations of low income and unbanked or underbanked consumers, who frequently struggle to obtain alternative forms of credit.
Store cards will continue to be a key path to financial inclusion for the underbanked
While the outlook for store cards over the forecast period is generally poor, the category will continue to play a vital role in improving financial inclusion among unbanked and underbanked Colombians. Because they are often one of the first points of contact between such individuals and the formal financial system, these instruments can aid the building of a credit history, which then increases opportunities to access other types of products and services.

DISCLAIMER
Store Card Transactions
A store card (also known as a retailer or private label card) contains a “pay later” component and revolving line of credit similar to credit cards. However, store cards must contain usage limited to specific stores within a predefined retail group unlike retailer co-branded cards. Co-branded credit cards issued by retailers acting as financial institutions and without usage restrictions fall into the credit card category.
