China Credit Card Market to Flourish on Rural Potential

The number of credit cards in circulation has doubled over the period of last two years (2007-2009). However, given large population base, the market remains largely untapped. Moreover, the market is majorly concentrated in tier-I and tier-II cities. The tier-III cities and rural areas are still highly untapped.

Thus, China offers a strong growth space for credit card companies in geographical areas other than the main cities, particularly in rural areas.
