Store Cards in Germany

Abstract
Store card transactions and transaction value continued to rebound in 2022 following a pandemic-induced drop in 2020 due to multiple widespread lockdowns affecting store-based retailers. Yet, in both respects, store cards did not recover to 2019 levels, while the number of cards in circulation remained on a longstanding downward trend. This was due to steadily declining consumer interest in store cards as alternative loyalty programmes continued to gain ground at the end of the review period.
