Mercator Advisory Group releases new research discussing existing, recently launched, and potential new products looking to encroach on debit card’s market share.
Boston, MA – September 19, 2017 –More everyday transactions are completed by U.S. consumers with a debit card issued by a financial institution than with any other single payment type. Yet, as a new ForeSight report from Mercator Advisory Group shows, growth of debit cards has begun to waiver as other payment types, not just new form factors, vie for consumer transactions. Credit cards, decoupled debit, real-time payments, and even Amazon are all trying to take a bite out of debit’s enviable market share.
