Overview
“Some very abrupt changes in consumers’ use of debit have upended the debit card market’s typically reliable growth trajectory. Several factors are at play, some of which are favoring credit, including the availability of credit and the continued growth of online purchases, which has traditionally favored credit cards. This report tracks the events of the last several quarters and market conditions that influence the trends we are seeing in debit volume and what is likely to be most influential in the future,” commented Sarah Grotta, Director, Debit Advisory Service at Mercator Advisory Group, the author of the report.
