COVID-19 Scenario Analysis
Top Impacting Factors
The rise in demand for cash alternatives and the availability of affordable & energy-efficient global forex prepaid cards drive the market growth. However, the lack of standardization is expected to hamper the market. Contrarily, an increase in the unbanked and under-banked population is expected to provide lucrative opportunities for the global forex prepaid market.
Rise in Demand for cash Alternatives
Financial advisers are experiencing an increase in demand for cashless transactions from clients demanding low-risk investments with higher returns than traditional cash-based accounts. When compared to credit cards, prepaid cards reduce the risk of overspending because there is a spending limit imposed. These prepaid cards can be loaded quickly and easily through a variety of platforms, including bank account transfers, direct deposit, and cash. Furthermore, corporations are constantly demanding cash alternatives to manage their day-to-day transactions. For instance, VA Tech Ventures introduced “Happay,” a new corporate expense card that administrators can control remotely via a mobile or web interface. The company can also use this card to track expenses, fund cards, set limits, and approve expenses in real-time. All of these factors are expected to fuel global forex prepaid cards market growth.
Increase in Number of Internet Users and Developments in the E-Commerce Industry
The rapid growth of the e-commerce industry has compelled customers to use plastic money rather than hard cash in their wallets. According to several banks, the new-age segment has been one of the key factors driving credit, debit, and prepaid card sales globally. For example, the Dubai payments industry is undergoing significant change, with a large number of consumers abandoning their credit cards in favor of a new payment tool known as a “prepaid debit card” for online shopping, travel, or gifting. These cards can be used in place of credit and debit cards and are easily accessible to non-banked consumers. As a result, the dominance of global forex prepaid cards in the electronic payment industry is expected to grow, creating lucrative opportunities for the market in the upcoming years.
