Visa Cards in United Kingdom
As at 31st December 2009, there are 21,699,000 Visa cards in UK, a decrease by 5,437,000 or 20.06% compares to 27,106,000 to for the same period in 2008.
These cards are made up of 18,699,000 accounts, where 13,455,000 are active i.e. had a balance outstanding. Nonetheless, the decrease in number of cards is
expected due to financial crisis worldwide where credit card issuers are more stringent in issuing of new cards while some old accounts are being closed in the
same time. The transactions volume and value for Visa are affected as well due to reduction in the number of cards.
