1 Executive Summary
Brazil
Market Size
The Brazilian prepaid cards market increased in value from US$X.X billion in 2007 to US$X.X billion in 2011, at a CAGR of XX.XX% during the review period (2007–2011).
The Brazilian prepaid cards market is expected to continue growing over the forecast period (2012–2016), to
reach a value of US$XX.X billion in 2016.
Trends and growth drivers
Brazil’s GDP at constant prices increased in value at a CAGR of X.XX% during the review period, to reach
US$XXX.X billion in 2011. The country’s GDP is projected to register a CAGR of X.XX% over the forecast period
to value US$X.X trillion in 2016. Strong economic growth is expected to drive the nation’s prepaid cards market.
It is estimated that XX million of the Brazilian population are unbanked, or do not have access to banking
services. Prepaid cards provide an alternative payment platform to unbanked consumers and help increase
levels of financial inclusion.
The use of cards as a payment system is popular in Brazil. According to Associação Brasileira das Empresas de
Cartões de Crédito e Serviços (ABECS), the total number of credit cards in Brazil increased by XX% to reach
XXX.X million in 2011, while the number of debit cards increased by X.X% to reach XXX.X million in 2011.
Additionally XXX.X million private-label cards are in circulation. As Brazilian consumers are already familiar with
the concept of payment cards, it is easier for companies to promote prepaid cards.
In October 2011, the Brazilian government passed a law which mandates transport companies to pay truck
drivers through electronic payment systems. As many truck drivers in Brazil do not have a bank account, the
prepaid cards market is anticipated to be used by transport companies as a payment option.
The Brazilian government has passed a law which levies a X.XX% charge on all foreign transactions made
through Brazilian credit cards. However, as prepaid cards are preloaded with Brazilian reals, transactions are
treated as domestic payments and carry a lower tax rate of X.XX%. Consequently, Brazilian consumers are
adopting prepaid travel cards for the purposes of international travel.
Challenges
One of the major constraints challenging the implementation of payment cards is the threat of fraud and theft.
The large number of online frauds is dissuading Brazilians from using payment cards.
Brazil currently does not have a regulation for open-loop prepaid cards. A proper regulatory system needs to be
in place to attract companies and increase sales.
Competitive landscape
Banks and financial institutions are the leading providers of prepaid cards in Brazil. Companies operating in the
market include Banco do Brazil, Banco Cruzeiro do Sul SA, American Express and CBSS.

Mexico
Market size
The Mexican prepaid cards market valued US$XX.X billion in 2011 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of
XX.XX% over the forecast period to value US$XX.X billion in 2016. This can be attributed to strong levels of
growth in the country’s banking sector and a demand for prepaid cards among younger consumers.
Trends and growth drivers
The Mexican prepaid cards market has slowly gained in popularity as organized retailers and vendors began to
accept prepaid cards without charging a processing fee. Furthermore, vehicle rental vendors are also using
prepaid cards for their service transactions.
Convenience and ease of use are expected to remain the most important drivers of the adoption of prepaid cards
in Mexico. Furthermore, demand from younger consumers is anticipated to play a vital role in the market’s growth
over the forecast period.
Retailers and supermarkets have launched their own prepaid cards in partnership with commercial banks or
prepaid card solution companies. Mexican retailers offering gift cards include iTunes, Cinemex, Mixup, Gandhi,
Lo Mejor de México, Smartbox, Starbucks, California Pizza Kitchen, Chili’s, Experimenta, Bueno, todito Card,
Saludo, Hablando Derecho,10 en Tareas and Xbox Live.
The Mexican prepaid card market offers significant growth opportunities to banks, solution providers and
retailers. In Mexico, the formal banking sector targets only the top-earning XX.X% of the population, while the
other XX.X% is considered too risky and unprofitable.
In terms of food, Mexico is one of the leading markets for prepaid cards with an anticipated market value of
US$X.X billion in transactions by 2016.
Challenges
Customer due diligence remains a primary concern and increases risks such as identity fraud or the use of the
product by third parties for illicit purposes.
Competitive landscape
Banks and financial institutions are the main providers of prepaid cards. NovoPayments and Blackhawk
Networks, which provide prepaid card solutions and services, are big names in the Mexican prepaid card
industry. Retailers such as Office Depot offer multiple prepaid card options.

Chile
Market size
The Chilean prepaid cards market valued US$XXX.X million in 2011 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of
XX.XX% over the forecast period to value US$X.X billion in 2016. Consumer awareness and an increasing
demand among the unbanked population are expected to drive the growth of the country’s prepaid cards market.
Trends and growth drivers
During the review period, XX% of Chilean retailers enrolled in a gift card program, making the country the
second-largest Latin American market after Mexico for prepaid cards. Chilean gift card brands include Falabella,
Easy and Paris.
Reloadable open-loop prepaid cards present an opportunity for retailers and banks to enhance established
customer relationships and attract new customers.
There are opportunities in the Chilean prepaid card market to introduce open-loop cards which have distinctive
benefits for both retailers and customers alike. The open loop cards expands the usability of the card and do not
restricts the user to shop from the limited retailers.
Social commerce and online retail sales are growing rapidly in Chile. Social commerce registered a CAGR of
XX.XX% during the review period and was responsible for driving market growth.
Challenges
During the review period, cashless banking transactions were highly unpopular in Chile. The frequency of
payments made through prepaid cards is lowest among the rural and low-income population, due to a lack of
awareness and knowledge of the benefits these payment platforms can provide.
Competitive landscape
The Chilean prepaid card market is in its developmental stages and consequently only a limited number of
competitors operate in this market. Mostly characterized by banks, some large retailers such as Farmacias
Ahumada, Falabella and Ripley offer prepaid cards in partnership with commercial banks.

Peru
Market Size
The Peruvian prepaid cards market increased in value from US$XX.X million in 2007 to US$XXX.X million in
2011, at a CAGR of XX.XX% during the review period.
The Peruvian prepaid cards market is expected to continue growing over the forecast period to reach a value of
US$X.X billion in 2016.
Trends and growth drivers
Peru’s GDP at constant prices valued US$XX.X billion in 2011, after recording a CAGR of X.XX% during the
review period. GDP growth is projected to increase at a CAGR of X.XX% over the forecast period to reach a
value of US$XXX.X billion in 2016. Stable economic growth is expected to drive the nation’s prepaid cards
market.
More than XX% of the Peruvian population is still unbanked. In order to provide wider levels of financial inclusion,
banks in Peru are expected to issue prepaid or debit cards rather than credit cards. The ease of obtaining
prepaid cards will drive the market over the forecast period.
The online retailing market in Peru is projected to record a CAGR of XX.XX% over the forecast period. While
debit and credit cards can be used for online purchases, prepaid cards are expected to be used for online retail
purchases due to the security options they provide.
Challenges
A lack of consumer awareness with regards to the types of prepaid cards that are available is one of the main
challenges preventing prepaid card usage in Peru. When compared to debit and credit cards, prepaid cards are a
relatively new payment method and have not been as strongly marketed by banks. Consequently, prepaid cards
have not been able to successfully penetrate the Peruvian payment system.
Peruvians prefer conducting financial transactions through cash than through cards. Although this trend is
changing gradually, it will take some time before prepaid card transactions are as popular as cash-based
transactions.
In Peru, prepaid cards are unpopular due to a lack of technological infrastructure to support their utilization and
low levels of adoption by merchants and vendors. Factors such as the low number of ATMs and POS terminals
need to be addressed to encourage more transactions though prepaid cards.
Competitive landscape
The Peruvian prepaid cards market is small and in its early stages of development, therefore competition is not
regarded as intense. Some of the companies operating in the Peruvian prepaid cards market are Novopayment,
Edenred and BBVA Continental.
