PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
The transition from physical to digital loyalty programmes
Companies increasingly recognise the diminishing appeal of traditional store cards and are shifting towards digital alternatives, such as mobile apps, to revitalise customer engagement. This move reflects a broader preference among local consumers for the greater portability, convenience and accessibility that digital solutions offer.
Revitalising customer engagement through app-based reward schemes
The adoption of app-based approaches presents a significant opportunity for retailers to revitalise their customer loyalty schemes, by offering personalised communication and tailored promotions delivered via mobile apps. The transition to digital platforms enables brands to foster greater loyalty and engagement by providing customised incentives and communications.
Integration of store cards into digital wallets
Bricks-and-mortar retailers are set to face further challenges due to the increasing popularity of pure-play e-commerce competitors, although store cards can benefit from cashback incentives in physical stores. The integration of store cards into digital wallets and the utilisation of data analytics for personalised rewards could also offer opportunities to reinvigorate the category.

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.
