customers residing in urban <strong>and</strong> rural areas, through low-cost channels such as<br />

internet <strong>and</strong> mobile banking <strong>and</strong> self-service terminals. This strategy serves<br />

several purposes: banks are able to reduce branch establishment costs, while<br />

customers benefit from not waiting in long queues, <strong>and</strong> can also avoid being<br />

• In terms of transaction value, the debit <strong>and</strong> credit card categories recorded<br />

respective review-period CAGRs of 50.87% <strong>and</strong> 27.62%. In 2013, the value of<br />

debit card transactions at POS terminals was marginally greater than at ATMs,<br />

representing 51.8% of the total debit cards transaction value. Similarly, the value<br />

of credit cards transactions at POS terminals was greater than that at ATMs,<br />

representing 95% of the total credit cards transaction value. Increasing use of<br />

debit <strong>and</strong> credit cards at POS terminals <strong>and</strong> the growing need for credit among<br />

middle-class families are anticipated to increase card transaction values over the<br />

forecast period.<br />
