PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Store cards set to decline throughout forecast period
With Auchan’s store card clients gradually moving to the credit cards category over the upcoming years, store cards is set to see deep declines in terms of the number of cards in circulation as well as transaction value and volume. Similar to Cetelem - once the issuer of Sonae’s store cards - Oney is also projected to record a substantial decline year after year over the forecast period.
El Corte Inglés as future category leader?
By contrast, El Corte Inglés store cards are expected to continue rising throughout the forecast period. This growth will be boosted by Portugal’s economic improvement and consumers’ recovered purchasing power and may push the player to the top of the category.
Strong competition from credit alternatives limits growth potential
Even though store cards offer linked advantages - such as access to exclusive sales events and interest-free instalments, for example - credit cards remain more competitive due to their broader acceptance and superior incentive programmes. This seriously undermines the store cards category’s potential to grow during the forecast period.

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.
