According to De Nederlandsche Bank, there is strong post-recession growth potential in the banking sector towards electronic payments, both from consumers and businesses. The cards and payments industry as a whole grew at a CAGR of 2.76% during the review period (2008-2012), primarily driven by charge cards and prepaid cards. The overall industry is expected to grow at a modest CAGR of 0.86% over the forecast period (2013-2017) as the Dutch economy gradually recovers. With the rising number of operators in the Dutch cards and payments industry, a need to differentiate has led banks to develop new marketing strategies. As well as the regular discounts and rebates, some banks have introduced new benefits and additional services. Services provided by ABN Amro include complimentary purchase insurance, baggage delay insurance and flight delay insurance. Other services include permitted spending above the set limit, and providing additional cards to partners of existing clients.
