Highlights

The payment card market in Germany is well-developed, but cards are not the preferred electronic method for consumers due to the popularity of credit transfers for high-value purchases. German consumers are uncomfortable with using revolving credit cards, and as a result these products are not especially popular.

The competitive landscape in the German credit card market has changed and now featues a large number of small players rather than being dominated by a few big players. The breadth of products is also approaching that seen in more mature markets. Barclaycard, the Sparkassen and Landesbank Berlin are the largest credit card issuers.

The credit card market in Germany declined in 2009 from 2008, but growth is expected to pick up in 2010 and remain positive through to 2013. The vast majority of payment cards in Germany are pay now products, however, and it is unlikely that this trend will be reversed.
