January 20, 2020 | Retail

The latest report by IMARC Group, titled “China Prepaid Cards Market Report by Card Type (Closed Loop Cards, Open Loop Cards), Purpose (Payroll/Incentive Cards, Gift Cards, Travel Cards, General Purpose Reloadable (GPR) Cards, and Others), Vertical (Retail, Corporate/Organization, Government, and Others), and Region 2024-2032,” finds that the China prepaid cards market reached a value of US$ 388.7 Billion in 2023. A prepaid card, also known as prepaid debit or stored-value card, contains a prepaid amount of money that can be used to pay for goods or services. It creates an alternative payment ecosystem with different incentives for consumers, merchants and payment system providers. Prepaid cards provide convenience to the public by easing everyday financial transactions like shopping, paying bills and withdrawing money from an ATM. It also offers other advantages, such as security, versatility, direct deposit, online shopping, theft protection, and no requirement of credit history or interest rates. On account of these advantages, there has been a rise in the adoption of prepaid cards in China.

China Prepaid Cards Market Trends:

With the rising internet penetration and growing awareness about electronic payment methods, prepaid cards are gaining widespread preference among users in China. Apart from this, the expanding e-commerce industry has led to a surge in the number of online purchases made using electronic modes, such as prepaid cards. In recent years, the Government of China has also revived its efforts to regulate the issuance and circulation of commercial prepaid cards since they are safer than carrying cash. Moreover, several companies are offering prepaid cards to consumers, which is projected to increase the user base in the country. For instance, UnionPay International, a subsidiary of China UnionPay, is offering secure, cost-effective and high-quality cross-border payment services and ensures convenient local services to cardholders and merchants. Besides this, with the incorporation of the latest technologies, contactless prepaid transit is emerging as a popular option as it enables quicker transactions than swiping a card. On account of these factors, the market is projected to reach a value of US$ 720.2 Billion by 2032, expanding at a CAGR of 6.9% during 2024-2032.
