What is the supply chain risk for Business Credit Card Services?
Competition remains strong despite moderate market share concentration. The market has a moderate level of concentration, with the top four vendors accounting for about 40% of market share. Credit card rates are generally set across the market place with some minor variances and move in line with central bank rates, forcing vendors to compete in the market on card benefits and rewards. As such, vendors with lower market share can still compete through favorable card perks. Buyers can look to leverage volume commitments or pan-European deals, extracting favorable terms, bundled services, and enhanced support. However, buyers must ensure robust contract management to avoid over-reliance on a single vendor. Strategic sourcing initiatives, like aggregating spend across divisions or countries, can further strengthen buyers' negotiation positions.
What factors affect the price of Business Credit Card Services?
Card rewards and perks include cash back on select purchases and point multiplier systems, as well as services such as concierge services, travel insurance, and travel booking. While rewards and perks are primarily ways that lenders compete in the market to attract debtors and do not impact pricing heavily, some cards with bare minimum rewards start at lower APRs than cards with luxury services and higher-tier rewards.
