Abstract
Overview
Introduction
Online consumer payment volumes continue to grow rapidly as more consumers
warm to the online experience and begin to purchase goods and services online
with an increasing appetite. As a result, the online consumer payments market
is becoming competitive, fast moving and volatile. Having said this, the
opportunities provided by online commerce are vast and should not be
overlooked.
Scope
- The scope of the discussion in this report is restricted to B2C
(business-to-consumer) online commerce globally.
- In the B2C online commerce both goods and service sectors are considered.
- Although the bulk of the data provided covers Europe and the US, where
possible general consumer trends are considered on a global scale.
- Online payment mechanisms discussed in this briefing include credit and
debit cards, prepaid cards, eWallets and P2P payments solutions.
Report Highlights
Credit card is the preferred method of payment online among consumers
globally. However, ultimately the credit card does not perform well in a
card-not-present context - the need to create 3D Secure protocols highlights
this.
Therefore, the credit card is flawed as an online payment tool and issuers
must innovate to defend their share of the market from non-card providers.
Indeed, PayPal has grown strongly into a major online payment solution
provider. In 2007, €34.3 billion of PayPal transactions were made; equivalent
in size to the value of card transactions in Austria.
Reasons to Purchase
- Online Consumer Payments examines the past, present and future of the
online consumer payment market.
- It highlights which payment solutions have been developed, indicating the
key components of a ' winning' online payment solution.
- Use this report to understand key trends relating to consumer' s and
merchant' s behaviour online and their attitudes towards the online environment.

total retail sales

- Realizing the Online Payment Opportunity
- Introduction
- Measures to tackle fraud have achieved the primary aim but have reduced
ease of use
- Fear of online fraud deters one in eight EU adults from online commerce
- The industry has responded with a number of initiatives to improve CNP
security
- The number of subscribers to 3D Secure initiatives is growing
- Card readers have the potential to be introduced in online commerce
- Failure to innovate effectively has left tightening security as the only
option for issuers
- Virtual card numbers have been tried by several players,but with only
limited success
- The development of 3D Secure restricted the use of virtual cards
- Virtual prepaid cards aim to meet the needs of the unbanked and wary
consumers, but are niche at best
- Visa 3V card: a unique prepaid card program with virtual applications
- eWallets have also emerged as an online payment tool, but fortunes have
also largely failed
- Microsoft, Egg, and Securicor all tried but failed in this space
- Past failure to meet the needs of consumers will cost the industry dear
without innovation
- The growth of auction websites created a payment market the card
industry did not serve
- The gap in the market was filled by PayPal, now the leading non-card
online payment tool
- PayPal has developed the global reach of its service rapidly since
the eBay acquisition
- PayPal' s transaction volumes are the same scale as the payment card
markets in Austria and Denmark
- PayPal' s fraud losses are also extremely low
- PayPal' s success has seen other non-bank players look to create online
payment platforms
- Yahoo launched PayDirect in 2000, but left the market in 2005
- Google launched Google Checkout in 2006 to target the B2C market
- Amazon tested a web payments service in 2007
- These players are now a genuine threat to existing card issuers in the
B2C payment space
- PayPal is already established in the B2C payment space and has
attracted merchants of all sizes
- Google and Amazon explicitly target B2C and have aggressively priced
their offerings to attract merchants
- Indeed, PayPal now has credit and debit cards issued under its brand
and has launched a mobile service
- Branded credit and debit cards are a significant step towards
competing in the wider banking space
- The launch of a mobile payment service is a further development into
the B2C space
- To protect future revenues from online payments, the industry must
innovate
- Better integrating 3D Secure into payment processes would increase
take-up
- Developing more co-brand and loyalty offerings in the online space
would grow card use online
- A scheme driven online payment service could leverage the repution
of the payment industry
- Moving to a system built around credit transfer, rather than cards,
is worth considering
