About the Report
The Cards and Payments Industry in the UK: Emerging
Trends and Opportunities to 2019 report provides
detailed analysis of market trends in the UK cards and
payments industry.
It provides values and volumes for a number of key
performance indicators in the industry, including check
payments, credit transfers, direct debits, payment cards
and cash transactions during the review period (2010–
2014).

Key Highlights:
The report also analyzes various payment card markets
operating in the industry and provides detailed
information on the number of cards in circulation, and
transaction values and volumes during the review period
and over the forecast period (2015–2019).
The UK government implemented the EU rule on the
interchange fee cap effective from December 9, 2015.
Under these new rules, the interchange fee for credit and
debit cards are capped at 0.3% and 0.2%, respectively.
The regulation is anticipated to have a major impact on
profitability of the UK's payment cards market. With a
reduction in revenue, issuers are likely to cut card
offerings and benefits for consumers, and instead look at
new ways to generate revenue.

Key Highlights Continues…
One way could be to increase fees levied on debit and
credit cards. Alternatively, high-street banks might put an
end to free current accounts. The cap on interchange fees
is expected to reduce card issuers' revenue from
consumer cards, but not commercial cards.
Therefore, card issuers are likely to compensate for some
of the lost revenue by issuing more commercial charge
cards and credit cards.
The emergence of digital only banks is likely to
accelerate a shift towards electronic payments in the UK.
Atom Bank, which was granted a banking license by the
Bank of England in June 2015, may become the country's
first digital only bank, allowing consumers to conduct
banking transactions entirely online and via mobile
phones.

Other digital-only banks, such as the German-based
Fidor Bank, Tandem Bank and Starling Bank, are also
making their debut into the market.
The UK payment cards market has seen the uptake of
contactless technology from 2013 onwards. According to
the UK Cards Association, the number of contactless card
transactions increased from 1.7 million in 2010 to 319.2
million in 2014.
In September 2015 alone, 103.2 million contactless
transactions were made, including 89.7 million debit cards
and 13.5 million credit and charge cards. One of the key
drivers of contactless payments has been its use in
London's public transport system.

In 2014, there were 17 million contactless payments in
bus journeys and 14 million in rail trips. To drive growth in
contactless payments, the UK Cards Association increased
the spending limit on contactless transactions from the
existing US$31.5 (GBP20) to US$47.9 (GBP30) in
September 2015.
This move is anticipated to further propel contactless
transactions in the UK.
