Naperville, IL -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/07/2013 -- Reportstack, provider of premium market research reports announces the addition of Retailer Payments, Banking, Insurance and Assistance in Italy market report to its offering
Retailer Payments, Banking, Insurance and Assistance in Italy investigates the market for financial services organised by over 150 major retail brands in Italy. As well as examining their initiatives in payment cards, banking products, insurance and assistance, the study also examines their involvement in proprietary and coalition loyalty programs, and details the online payment mechanisms accepted by those with an online sales capability. Among other data points, the report and PartnerBASE™ dataset that accompanies it embrace the following information about the retailers covered:
- whether they offer their own credit, debit or prepaid cards and, if so, the card issuers that they work with in this context if they do not issue the cards themselves;
- whether they are linked to one or more loyalty programs and, if so, whether these are proprietary or coalition schemes;
- whether they make non-card point-of-sale finance available to their customers and, if so, the finance providers that they employ for this purpose;
- whether they promote mainstream banking products such as general-purpose personal loans, mortgages and savings accounts and, if so, the partners that they co-operate with;
- whether they distribute accident, dental, health, household, life, motor, pet or travel insurance, or any kind of assistance services and, if so, the insurance or assistance providers used;
- for retail brands with an online sales capability, the payment means and providers that they accept for online purchases with consideration of payment cards, online accounts, mobile payments, bank transfers and other online payment options.
