Retailer Financial Services in Europe

Abstract

Retailer Financial Services in Europe is a report, based on a survey of 1,895 high profile retail brands in 25 European countries, about the activity and partnerships of major retailers in areas of financial services including co-branded and store cards, consumer finance, retail banking and mainstream insurance policies, namely motor insurance, household insurance, accident insurance, health insurance, travel insurance, pet insurance and life insurance. In addition, the study also covers retailer loyalty cards with no payment function.

Countries covered are Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the UK. In total, the research identifies 485 schemes for retailer payment cards, well over 500 programs for each of loyalty cards and point-of-sale finance, and over 200 product marketing initiatives for retailer insurance.

As such, the study provides a comprehensive and detailed overview of the market for retailer financial services across the 25 European countries that goes far beyond the scope of previous published research. Moreover, the PartnerBASE™ database that accompanies the report details each of the many marketing initiatives for co-branded and store cards, loyalty cards, consumer finance, banking products and retailer insurance traced by Finaccord.
