Canadian Credit Card Market Outlook, 2020-2023: Number of Cards in Circulation & Active Accounts, Transaction Volumes, Consumer Credit Preferences by Age Cohort

DUBLIN, March 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The "The Canadian Credit Card Market" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The Canadian card industry has unique features distinct from U.S. payments. This research report describes six industry-shaping trends that fit the market well and provide a strong foundation for the future.

The report draws from survey data in the Canadian edition of the North American Payments Insights, a powerful research asset, which recently expanded into Europe. Readers will also get a glimpse at the global payments database, which provides analytics for more than 100 countries.

Canada has a long history of innovation in payments with differences from the United States card market. Innovations include Interac, which was originally a domestic debit payment scheme that ran outside the traditional branded network payment scheme.

The non-profit model converted to a profit-making venture similar to the path Mastercard and Visa took in the early 2000s. The market also has a progressive Code of Conduct that better positions merchants in the payment scheme.

Non-traditional lenders and technology play an important role in Canada.

Highlights of the research report include:

• Number of cards in circulation and number of active accounts in Canada
• Canadian credit card transaction volume
• Canadian consumers' credit preferences by age cohort
• Requirements of the Code of Conduct for the Credit and Debit Card Industry in Canada
• A discussion of the uneven success of U.S. card issuers in Canada

• Ontario's push to increase minimum-due payments
