<>1>What is the research?

Retailer Financial Services in North and Latin America is a report, based on a survey of 1,195 high profile retail brands in 12 countries, about the activity and partnerships of major retailers in areas of financial services including payment cards, consumer finance, retail banking and mainstream insurance policies, namely motor insurance, household insurance, accident insurance, dental insurance, other health insurance, travel insurance, pet insurance and life insurance. In addition, the study also covers proprietary and coalition loyalty schemes and international remittances. Countries covered are Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and the USA.

In fact, the study provides a comprehensive and detailed overview of the market for retailer financial services across the 12 countries in North and Latin America that goes far beyond the scope of previously published research. Moreover, the PartnerBASE"! database that accompanies the report details each of the many marketing initiatives for co-branded and store cards, proprietary and coalition loyalty programs, consumer finance, banking products, retailer insurance and international remittances traced by Finaccord. Other global regions covered in sister reports and associated databases are Asia Pacific and the Middle East, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe, Northern and Central Europe, and Southern and Western Europe.

What is the rationale?

A number of factors, some of which are specific to financial services and some to retailing, provide ample justification for the development of this report and the sister reports covering the same subject in four other broad global regions. With regards to financial services, this rationale can be broken down between what might be characterized as ' traditional' retailer financial services (i.e. cob d d/ branded / store cards and consumer finance / personal loans) and ' non-traditional' retailer financial services (i.e. insurance, mortgages and savings accounts). For example, in the field of ' traditional' retailer financial services, the experience of card issuers is that the profitability of successful cobranded card schemes, including retailer programs, usually exceeds that of standard payment cards.

Meanwhile, dynamics in the retailing market itself also give rise to increasing rationale both for retailer financial services and this comprehensive study of the subject. Retailer consolidation is helping to produce national champions with the branding, muscle and general profile needed to succeed in financial services in any given country. Furthermore, successful retail groups in the less developed markets of Latin America are experiencing substantial growth as an increasing proportion of consumers allocate their expenditure to formal retailing concepts. Indeed, a number of retailers such as these are taking advantage of the regular contact that they enjoy with consumers to roll out their own financial services propositions.

What methodology has been used?

The main research input into this study is a survey, carried out between April and June 2010, of 1,195 major retailing brands across 12 countries in North and Latin America. The aim of this investigation has been to gather top level data concerning the provision of financial services by the organizations in question, the operating models that they use and the financial partners with which they work in this t t N t ll context. Naturally, given that there are literally millions of smaller retailers in total in the territories reviewed, the majority with just a single outlet, Finaccord has sought to focus on the very largest entities that are likely to be of most strategic interest to providers of financial services. Indeed, the 1,195 major retailers break down by country and by category as illustrated in the graphic overleaf.

What is the report structure?

  • 0. Executive Summary: providing a concise evaluation of the principal findings of the report.
  • 1. Introduction: offering rationale, description of methodology and other related notes.
  • 2. Regional Overview: comprising a regional overview of the activity of major retail brands in payment cards, proprietary and coalition loyalty programs, consumer finance / personal loans, banking, mainstream insurance policies and international remittances. As well as analyses of the operating models used by retailers for financial services, this section also analyses the extent to which retailer cards are affiliated to MasterCard, Visa and other international payment brands in each country and identifies retailers operating through captive or joint venture finance arms
  • 3. Argentina: an in-depth analysis of the market for retailer financial services in Argentina with separate consideration given to initiatives in payment cards, loyalty schemes, consumer finance /personal loans, banking products, insurance and international remittances. Key partnerships between retail chains and banks, card issuers and insurance providers are identified for each of these financial services while retailers are analyzed according to whether they possess proprietary loyalty programs or participate in coalition loyalty schemes.

What are the key features of the research?

Key features of this report include:

  • comprehensive coverage of the involvement in financial services of 1,195 major retail brands in 12 countries in North and Latin America;
  • investigation of close to 800 schemes for retailer payment cards and point-of-sale finance: which finance providers are strong in which countries and with which retail chains do they collaborate?
  • identification of over 550 proprietary retailer loyalty p p y y y programs including the split by country according to whether they are linked to a corresponding payment card or to a card with no payment function;
  • focus on key initiatives in retailer banking such as ibi (C&A) in Brazil, President' s Choice Financial Services (Loblaw / CIBC) in Canada, Banco Falabella (Falabella) in Chile and other countries, Banco Azteca (Grupo Elektra) in Mexico, Banco Walmart (Walmart) in Mexico, and Kroger Personal Finance (Kroger / RBS Citizens) in the USA;
  • in-depth consideration of retailer provision of mainstream insurance: 95 major retail brands in North and Latin America were active in ' brandassurance' by the second quarter of 2010.

How can the research be used?

You may be able to use this report and the PartnerBASE"! that accompanies it in one or more of the following ways:

  • gain rapid access to a unique source of intelligence covering virtually all significant retail groups across an extremely wide range of geographies;
  • monitor the activity of key national and international competitors in retailer financial services including the many international subsidiaries of BNP Paribas, Citigroup, GE Capital and HSBC;
  • understand the potential in each country for converting proprietary retailer loyalty cards and coalition loyalty schemes into fully-fledged payment cards;
  • evaluate the extent to which retail brands in the Americas could emerge as ' consumer champions' in mainstream retail banking;
  • retailers in North and Latin America are becoming increasingly involved in insurance intermediation - appreciate the opportunity for creating distribution partnerships in this field.

Who can use the research?

  • 1. Payment card issuers: this study is an up-to-date and comprehensive source of information about retailer payment cards in 12 markets in North and Latin America with coverage of credit /deferred debit, debit and rechargeable pre-paid products;
  • 2 2. Banks and lending institutions: partnerships with major retailers for the provision of point-ofsale finance, especially in categories such as computers / electricals, furniture / household goods and online / home shopping, offer a potentially strong growth channel;
  • 3. Insurance companies: as merger and acquisition activity brings about the creation of larger, more international retailing groups, the opportunities for underwriters and brokers to set up retailer insurance programs are sure to multiply;
  • 4. Retailers: across Latin America, Banco Falabella runs a portfolio of more than five million active credit card accounts and a total loan book of almost US$3 billion: to what degree is there an opportunity for your organisation to expand profitably into financial services?
  • 5. Loyalty management companies: the research offers a thorough guide to over 550 proprietary retailer loyalty programs in North and Latin America as well as coverage of the leading coalition loyalty schemes.
  • 4. Key findings from the executive summary include:
    • retailer payment cards are most prevalent in Brazil, Canada and Peru where 76.5%, 70.3% and 57.9%, respectively, of major retail brands offer them, but are least common in Uruguay, Paraguay and Colombia with data points of 24.0%, 25.0% and 31.6%, respectively;
    • in Latin America, in particular, major retailers have established their own banking operations with a view to targeting lower and middle income customers with banking services, as these types of customer are often poorly served or overlooked by mainstream banking institutions;
    • however, some retailers may elect to sell their captive finance arms to mainstream banks or to reconfigure them as joint ventures in which a banking partner takes on some of the responsibility for their day-to-day running, including the management of credit risk;
    • the involvement in insurance of some of retail brands also extends to various assistance formulae in addition to the mainstream forms of insurance researched - for example, in Chile, Falabella also offers a pre-paid legal assistance policy while Johnson' s intermediates legal services on a ' pay when needed' basis.
