There are big cultural differences
between British shoppers and
shoppers in continental Europe when
it comes to credit cards.
Shopping by credit card in Britain
is rising: it increased by £400 million
last month. But shoppers in France
and other continental European
countries still prefer cheques, cash,
debit or store cards to credit cards.
Two-thirds of all credit card
spending in the European Union
takes place on British cards.
But this picture is starting to
change in continental European
countries. In 2002, Visa increased the
number of its credit cards in the EU
by 10.6 percent. The number of transactions rose by 12 percent. In
France, many shoppers are learning
that store cards charge higher interest
rates than credit cards.
There are still many difficulties for
credit card companies that want to
expand in continental Europe. Many
continental European consumers
don t like to spend on credit cards:
they prefer to negotiate a loan with
their bank branch. So their local bank
remains the main source of credit.
But many US- and UK-owned
credit card companies see the
possibility of growth in continental
Europe and have ambitious plans to
expand.
