Marktanalyse - Store Cards in Italy

During 2011 the number of store cards in circulation decreased by 3% mainly due to the negative effects of the economic and financial crises which strongly impacted Italian spending habits. At the same time the strong competition from cobranded charge and credit cards, issued by stores in cooperation with financial institutions and which have greater flexibility as they can be used anywhere, further undermined the performance of store cards.
