Eastern Europe is the fastest developing market in the world for self service banking and cards technology. With a population of over 200 million and a rapidly developing banking industry it presents enormous opportunities for those companies that understand these markets and know how to address them.
Retail Banking Research Ltd’s new report Eastern Europe: Banking Automation and Payment Systems provides the information and analysis that will help manufacturers and service providers succeed in these markets. The report covers six principal markets in the region – Russia, Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Bulgaria – and includes detailed information on the markets for ATMs and cash dispensers, credit and debit cards and electronic purses.
For each country, the report answers key questions such as: Who are the major players in banking? How developed is the banking infrastructure? How large are these markets and how fast are they growing? Who are the leading buyers of self-service? Which suppliers are active in the self-service marketplace and what are their shares? What facilities do the banks require on ATMs? How many cards are in issue and of what types? Do banks require chip cards and electronic purse products?
The report is an invaluable source for those developing market strategies, planning new products, and deciding whether and how to exploit the opportunities that eastern Europe affords.
