Commercial cards are defined as cards issued to businesses to cover expenses such as fuel, procurement, and travel and entertainment. They include Business, Corporate, Lodge, Purchasing, Fleet and Fuel cards.
Commercial cards account for less than 10% of total payment card volume in Europe and represent a major unexploited opportunity for banks and other issuers. The primary objectives of this new syndicated study are to provide critical industry and competitor benchmark data for the commercial cards sector while identifying key market drivers, emerging trends and ways of unlocking unexploited market opportunities.

The report, which is based on extensive primary research with issuers in 19 European countries, provides international card schemes, processors, issuers and other industry players with high-quality and comprehensive market data essential for strategic planning and forecasting.

Commercial Cards in Europe 2021 provides market sizes and card scheme shares for multiple metrics, including for individual card type and/or product type segments, and market forecasts to 2025. The latest edition of the study provides detailed commentary and systematic data for physical and virtual commercial cards.
