Canadas Cards and Payments Industry: Emerging Opportunities, Trends, Size, Drivers, Strategies, Products and Competitive Landscape

Credit cards was the largest category in the card payments channel in 2012, accounting for a 51.8% share.
The second-largest share was occupied by the debit card category with 24.5%. The prepaid cards category
followed with 20.6% and the charge cards category accounted for 3.1%. Consumers are slowly moving away
from cash and adopting other modes of payment such as cards and electronic fund transfers. While cash
continues to be an important part of the payments system, it is increasingly being displaced by non-cash
channels. The share of cash transactions fell during the review period, from 2.3% in 2008 to 2.0% in 2012.
Commercial banks and retailers have been aggressively promoting contactless payment technology to increase
the speed and convenience of payments for consumers. The technology also offers improved security and
helps to control fraudulent transactions. The major contactless payment technologies used in Canada include
Interac’s Interac Flash, Visa’s payWave and MasterCard’s PayPass. Banks and retail
outlets in Canada expanded their infrastructure networks during the review period. The number of automatic
teller machines (ATMs) installed increased from 57,900 in 2008 to 60,346 in 2012, at a review-period CAGR
of 1.04%. The increasing acceptance of debit and credit cards at retail outlets and a consumer shift towards
direct card purchases resulted in a rising number of point of sale (POS) transactions during the review period.
