With the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, contactless payments have seen a huge spurt in demand, which has resulted in increased issuance of debit as well as credit cards in the country. Over the last few years, the credit card industry has grown significantly in India with many developments happening in the space which include various innovations and changes in technology. Credit card issuers are also making efforts to bring more innovation and awareness to the segment that will contribute to the growth of India’s credit card market.
However, the adoption of credit cards has been fairly paltry across India, with only around 3% of the population having a credit card, which is way off the 30% benchmarks set by World Bank.
The Indian middle class mostly has a conservative stance towards credit card usage, with belief that high fees would ultimately lead to no benefit, and hence restrain themselves to use credit cards, which is definitely not a good sign. So, will the credit card industry in India sustain its positive growth in the future? Let’s find out.

Credit Card Industry in India: The credit card industry in India is undergoing changes, with entry of players in the New-Generation cards as well as the Buy-Now-Pay-Later segment. Traditionally, the segment has been dominated by banks such as HDFC, SBI, ICICI and Axis. Newer business models such as New-Gen cards and BNPL are also making their way in India. The Indian payments industry has witnessed a dramatic shift in recent years in terms of the adoption of digitized technologies and innovations that process transactions within a matter of seconds. As we transition toward a more digital world, the role of credit cards is becoming even more important to facilitate online payments. The demand for online payments is ever growing and service providers are constantly innovating themselves to offer rewarding services to their users.

Adoption of Contactless Payments: The need for contactless payments has seen a spike, especially due to the pandemic, giving rise to increased demand for contactless payments. This in turn has led to increased issuance of credit and debit cards in the country. Moreover, the increasing demand for payments through wearables is also driving the credit card industry.

Buy Now, Pay Later: Many fintech players are now offering the buy now, pay later solutions allowing consumers to split their purchase into multiple payments. Consumers can use a BNPL card to make interest-free installment payments on any purchase. This convenience in payment method also attracts them to choose credit options for their payments over other modes of payment.

Rewarding experience: Several consumers switch to using credit cards to avail the benefits that these cards offer in terms of rewards or cashbacks. Today, rewards come as a standard on many credit cards in the form of co-branded cards, giving cardholders a reason to use them in the long-term. With exciting rewards in store for users, while making payments, customers are increasingly inclined towards using credit cards for making payments relating to their daily needs, shopping, travel, etc. This has called for increased partnerships between banks and FinTechs in order to meet the growing demands of their customers and issue cards to them that offers exceptional consumer experiences.

Fintech disruption: In the last few years, the credit space has seen some of the most popular offerings globally by neobanks. New players are entering the credit space in India and have started providing credit cards and digital lending via BNPL, EMI and other services. FinTechs are also focusing on bringing out co-branded cards with features and rewards dedicated to a segment. Banks are also exploring partnerships with FinTech players to acquire new customers to their platforms. FinTechs have opened up new avenues for the credit industry to tap into the large customer base without credit history.
