Abstract
With slower growth and a saturated market, credit card marketers are
increasingly looking to expand their consumer base with new sources of new
revenue. At 42.7 million, the Hispanic population in the United States
presents tremendous opportunity for credit card marketers to offer products
and services. Not only is this group the fastest growing minority in U.S., but
also an underserved and under-utilized consumer base in terms of all financial
products. However, this is not expected to come easily for marketers due to a
fragmented Hispanic population with varying attitudes and an inherent
apprehension toward credit cards and other banking products and services.
Hispanic Americans and Credit Cards, a new report from Packaged Facts, offers
an in-depth look at credit card usage patterns among Hispanic Americans. The
report provides an overview of the Hispanic community in the U.S., including a
look at financial trends in the Hispanic consumer market, and the key
demographic characteristics of the Hispanic population. In addition, the study
provides an in depth analysis of credit card usage within the various and
diverse Hispanic cultural sub-categories, a look at brand preference and
yearly versus monthly card usage, coverage of attitudinal drivers, and factors
that may drive growth in the Hispanic consumer credit card market.
This timely, compact report offers insight and analysis on factors to growth
in the credit card marketplace, demographic shifts, and consumer behaviors
that affect the Hispanic consumer credit card industry.
Report Methodology

sources, including company literature.
