Scope
- The share of domestic scheme provider BORICA has been declining, with international scheme providers Mastercard and Visa taking charge of the debit card market. BORICA's share fell from 3.9% in 2013 to 1.3% 2017 in terms of number of cards in circulation. To regain its presence and to compete with international schemes, BORICA launched national card scheme Bcard in July 2017. As of November 2017, six banks and several non-banks have started issuing Bcard in the country.
- American Express exited the Bulgarian market in 2017. In July 2017, Postbank (subsidiary of Eurobank Group) - which was the sole issuer of American Express cards - ceased both the issuance and maintenance of American Express pay-later cards in the country. The bank's existing American Express cards were replaced with Mastercard-branded cards, which contributed to the growth of Mastercard's pay-later card share in 2017.
- Contactless payments are gaining traction in Bulgaria. All major banks now offer contactless cards in the country, while Visa and Mastercard have launched their respective contactless technologies, payWave and PayPass. According to Visa Europe, Bulgarian contactless payments via Visa cards rose by 612% over the 12-month period to April 2016. Almost 40,000 contactless terminals accept Visa contactless cards in the country. To capitalize on this trend, in March 2017 CIBANK collaborated with Mastercard to become the first bank in Bulgaria to introduce contactless ATMs.
