Store Cards in South Africa

Co-branded credit cards are continually increasing in popularity at the expense of store cards amongst middle and upper income consumers. Nearly all major retail groups have brought out a co-branded credit card in conjunction with a store card. Generally, middle income consumers with good credit records (often through their store card use) will be targeted for an “upgrade” to a co-branded credit card whilst store cards remain reserved for lower income groups and first-time credit users.
