Research Analysis on UK Consumer Payments Market

Consumer Payments Country Snapshot: UK is a new market research publication announced by Reportstack. The UK payments market is highly mature - arguably even over-served by its financial institutions. Access to formal financial services in the UK is easy and (though this is now changing in some cases) free, leading to a population which is highly comfortable with credit and debit cards both in-store and online.
Key Findings
- Bank transfers have now become the preferred P2P method in the UK, likely thanks to the convenience and speed of Paym transfers.
- E-commerce accounts for the majority of online purchases by value in the UK, although m-commerce is expected to record a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11% between 2015 and 2020 as consumers become increasingly comfortable using mobiles to shop online.
- The UK regulatory environment has seen significant change recently, with the dissolution of the Payments Council, the launch of a new Payment Systems Regulator, and the purchase of the formerly UK bank-owned infrastructure operator Vocal ink by MasterCard.
