Friday, November 19, 2021
Mercator Advisory Group's latest 2021 North American PaymentsInsights report provides an overview of key trends in prepaid, debit, and credit card verticals.
BOSTON, Nov. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Mercator Advisory Group has released a new primary research report titled 2021 U.S. North American PaymentsInsights: The State of the Consumer Market - Prepaid/Gift, Credit, and Debit Cards, summarizing the findings from the Summer 2021 North American PaymentsInsights survey of 3,001 U.S-based adults. The report aims to highlight the key findings from the survey as they relate to consumer experience with prepaid, gift, credit, and debit cards. The report brings together various aspects of consumers' experience with the different payment methods covered, as well as relevant behavioral habits and attitudes. Readers of the report will get an idea of how consumers use various payment cards, how they view card features, and the challenges that they encounter.
"The past 18 months have seen an unprecedented shift in consumer payment behaviors and attitudes, driven by disruptive factors including the COVID-19 pandemic, product shortages, and the accelerated adoption of online shopping. Tracking and understanding the shifts in consumer preferences is instrumental to planning for the future and creating innovative payments solutions that satisfy consumers' everchanging needs." - Amy Dunckelmann, Vice President, Research Operations, Mercator Advisory Group.
Highlights of the 2021 North American Payments Insights: The State of the Consumer Market - Prepaid/Gift, Credit, and Debit Cards Data Summary Report:
-- The average dollar amount loaded onto retailer-specific prepaid cards
was $126.
-- Over half of respondents that used a retailer-specific gift card had
spent the entire value on the card in just one shopping trip.
-- Over 60% of credit card users reported using their credit primarily to
get rewards, while slightly over half said that they use a credit card
only to build credit history and that they try to pay off the full
balance every month.
-- Cashback was perceived to be the most important reward by greatest share
of those that participate in credit card rewards programs (41%).
-- Only 32% of debit card users have used their debit card to get cash back
from a merchant in the past 12 months.
