Shaping the future of India’s cards and payments landscape

The rapid growth of the Indian economy and increasing modernisation have prompted the Indian banking and payment sectors to undergo major reforms in the past few years. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is increasingly pushing for non-cash transactions in order to reduce the amount of black money in the Indian market. The results so far have been impressive with the payment industry showing immense progress with much higher growth expected to come.

Indian non-cash payment volumes grew by 10% in 2009
Cards remain the preferred mode of non-cash payments, enjoying a 40% share in most markets globally
44 million Debit cards were issued in India in 2009-10, a growth of 35% Year-on-Year
In India, Debit cards are expected to grow at 21% CAGR 2012-14 and Credit Cards at 12% CAGR 2011-14
During 2008-11, Debit card payments increased by 46% and Credit card payments by 9%
Pre-paid cards have grown by 75% in 2010. The Pre-paid cards market grew from US$2 billion to US$5 billion
E-payments and m-payments collectively accounted for an estimated 22.5 billion transactions in 2010
With mobile subscriptions in India expected to touch one billion in 2013, mobile payments (m-payments) are on the rise

In order to sustain long-term growth of the Indian economy there is a need for the banking system to provide pioneering financial mechanisms and services that nurture financial inclusion and offer efficient and robust credit distribution.
