US Cards & Payments Sector Reviewed by Timetric in New Report Now Available at MarketPublishers.com

21 May 2015 • by Natalie Aster

LONDON – The US has the largest payments market in the world; the country also boasts one of the highest card penetration levels. As of 2014, the country accounted for more than 87% and just over 85% of the region’s total transaction volume and value, respectively.

Electronic payment options have gradually gained ground across the US, having overtaken once-leading checks with regard to transaction volume. The decrease in check transactions gathered steam over the past decade, largely owing to a hike in the conversion of checks into debit payments.

Additionally, the move toward electronic payments has been supported by the contactless technology, which has been gaining good momentum since its launch in 2004. Local consumers have a diversity of contactless offerings to select from, as all key payment networks (MasterCard, Visa, American Express, etc.) have contactless cards available to clients.
