Introduction
In spite of the success of plastic cards, cash remains the dominant payment tool for low value transactions. Contactless payments provide an opportunity for card issuers to enter this space. But what are the arguments in favor of the technology? What are the dangers? This briefing provides the answers.
Scope
In depth profiles of contactless technologies from Hong Kong, Singapore, USA and the UK provide a background to the discussion
Analyses the potential for the technology to succeed, providing the case in favor of the contactless payments, and the potential problems
Profiles the contactless payment technologies being piloted by American Express, MasterCard, and Visa, providing Datamonitor's view of each
Based on Datamonitor's in-depth knowledge of the cards and payments market
Highlights
Saturation and a growing commoditization in cards markets have limited the potential for issuers to continue to achieve growth through card issuance alone. Contactless technology allows issuers to capture a portion of the payments market currently dominated by cash, thus increasing card activity
Successful schemes operating in Asia point the way to a fruitful launch in the US and Europe. In the US trials, consumers have responded positively, while retailers have reported an increase in both the volume and value of transactions.
It is important to take a balanced view; contactless payments will not take over the world overnight. However, they do present issuers with an excellent opportunity to grow revenues and increase customer loyalty.
