Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/27/2013 -- The Danish cards and payments industry is one of the most well-developed and highly regulated in the world. The cards and payments industry in Denmark has its roots in the 1960s, when Danish banks were among the first in the world to develop and invest in electronic payment services. In 1983, Danish company PBS A/S introduced the country's national debit card, the Dankort, and since then, the entire payment preferences of consumers have shifted from cash and check payments to the Dankort. Despite growing competition from international payment cards, Dankort and its co-badged solutions still dominate the Danish cards and payments industry. The total number of cards issued in Denmark rose from 10.8 million in 2008 to 12.7 million in 2012, at a CAGR of 4.31% during the review period. Over the forecast period, the prepaid cards category is expected to record a CAGR of 2.36% and will hold a significant share in the industry.
