Bigger spending on store credit cards

Article Abstract:

Consumers are spending a third more per month on average on their supermarket credit cards compared with non supermarket card holders, and Sainsbury's has a 5% share of the credit card market, followed by Tesco on 4%. During 1997 and 1998, 70% of credit card applicants have applied to one of the four leading supermarket chains, compared with 40% to one of the main banks. According to NOP Research Group, there are nearly 17mn credit cardholders in the UK compared with 14mn in 1993. A number of factors are driving credit card growth, not least the emergence of new entrants such as supermarkets and US card companies. However, relaxing restrictions to encourage younger cardholders and low interest rates have also contributed to increased demand.
