Commercial cards (i.e. business, corporate or purchasing cards issued to organisations to cover expenses such as fuel, procurement, and travel and entertainment) represent a major unexploited opportunity for banks in Europe. This study qualifies and quantifies the current lack of penetration through a detailed country-by-country analysis of the take-up of commercial cards to date and sizes the unexploited opportunity.

The report, which is based on extensive primary research with issuers in 33 European countries, provides international card schemes, processors and other industry players with high-quality and comprehensive market data essential for strategic planning and forecasting. The ‘Commercial Cards in Europe 2011’ study contains the following key cards metrics and five-year forecasts...

• Number of commercial cards by type of card – prepaid, debit, charge and credit (2010)
• Number of commercial cards by product type – Business, Corporate and Purchasing (2010)
• Number of commercial cards by scheme – American Express, Diners Club, MasterCard, Maestro, Visa, Visa Electron, domestic schemes and private label schemes (2010)
• Volume of commercial card payments by type of card – prepaid, debit, charge and credit (2010)
• Forecast number of commercial cards by type of card – prepaid, debit, charge and credit (2011-2016)
• Forecast number of commercial cards by product type – Business, Corporate and Purchasing (2011-2016)
• Forecast volume of commercial card payments by type of card – prepaid, debit, charge and credit (2011-2016)
• Forecast value of commercial card payments by type of card – prepaid, debit, charge and credit (2011-2016)

In addition, the following key issues relating to the commercial sector will also be addressed by the study...

• The main forms of payment currently used by businesses
• Segmentation of customers within the commercial cards category
• Liability for corporate card spending (individual or corporate) and what determines this
• Regulatory restrictions to commercial card programmes
• Common features of commercial card programmes (e.g. reporting provided by issuers to companies) at present and in the future
• How the commercial cards sector is expected to develop over the next few years and why
• The main drivers and inhibitors of commercial cards
• The reasons why commercial card issuers would issue cards of a particular type or scheme

The information and data in 'Commercial Cards in Europe 2011' is based on extensive primary research and is not available from any other source. Please contact us for further details on the study.
