Scope
- Amid the coronavirus pandemic, in March 2020 Mastercard urged merchants to raise contactless payment limits across Europe. In Bulgaria, the limit was subsequently increased from BGN50 ($28.70) to BGN100 ($57.40). And in January 2020, Mastercard persuaded merchants to mandate the acceptance of contactless payment cards across all countries in Europe. This is anticipated to further drive the adoption of electronic methods of payments in the country.
- To increase card penetration in the country, banks are introducing more convenient methods for consumers to access personal banking services. For instance, United Bulgarian Bank (the Bulgarian subsidiary of KBC Bank) offers debit card issuance via its mobile banking app. Customers can apply for a debit card directly within the app and choose which branch they want to collect the card from. The app also enables users to reschedule the repayment of credit card balances across three to 12 installments.
- The entry of fintechs and digital-only banks is driving competition in the banking space, thus helping to boost debit card holding. In March 2019, UK-based Revolut launched current accounts in the local currency, the Bulgarian lev. In March 2020 it launched the Revolut Junior app to boost financial literacy among children.
