Lithuania Cards & Payments Market Explored by Timetric in Its New Report Published at MarketPublishers.com

13 Apr 2016 • by Natalie Aster

LONDON – Lithuania’s adoption of the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) framework in January 2016 is poised to have a significant bearing on the profitability of the domestic payment cards market through to 2019. With interchange fee revenues decreased, card issuers are set to reduce card offerings and customer benefits, and check out novel ways of generating revenue.

To protect consumers from irresponsible lending, the bank of Lithuania (Lietuvos Bankas) amended the consumer credit laws (responsible lending regulations) in November 2015. In accordance with the novel guidelines, the maximum monthly credit repayment cannot exceed 40% of the borrower’s monthly income, and the maximum credit maturity cannot be more than 30 years. These practices are likely to positively impact the credit card marketplace in the forthcoming years.

Banks are also taking concentrated measures to promote e-payments amid consumers. Thus, Swedbank levied extra fees on cash transactions in July 2013, encouraging consumers to conduct daily transactions electronically. The growing usage of e-payments is projected to promote the use of products like debit cards.
