United Press Iniei national
The businessman in Buenos Aires
feels uncomfortable with the idea of
credit cards but finds it difficult to
travel without them.
The Israeli consumer uses plastic
to cope with near-daily price in
creases in that country’s inflation
spiral.
The Greek tourist sees the credit
card as a good deal because it can be
used to take extra money along on
trips out of the country.
Whatever the attraction, that uni
que American invention — the cre
dit card — is undergoing a worl
dwide popularity surge, reflecting its
greater availability and the closer
attention inflation-battered consum-
I
ers in many countries are paying to
money management.
With three pieces of plastic out
standing for every American and few
reservations about using them, the
U.S. consumer is still the world’s
credit champion. There is no chance
of the title passing to foreign hands.
But the overseas expansion of
cards barely has begun to reach its
potential, according to analysts who
predict a snowball effect as each new
card issued builds consumer famil
iarity and raises demand for plastic.
“It’s the hour of the credit card, "
says Nestor Yoan, manager of the
Argentine credit card company,
Argencard. Local cards in circulation
increased by about 25 percent to
200,000 last year but Yoan says,
“There are a million and a half more
families that could have a credit card
now.
American credit card companies
are pushing to capture shares of the
foreign markets while local issuers
have set up their own systems.
Building foreign networks has a
double goal for U.S. issuers: tapping
reservoirs of new customers as well
as expanding outlets for Americans
to use their cards overseas.
Foreign business was important
enough for Visa to undergo a eosHy
name change from BankAmericard
to reduce translation problems with
its cards overseas.
In no two countries is the credit
card approached exactly alike. Atti
tudes toward personal debt are
deep-rooted and vary by culture.
National financial systems, of which
credit cards are a part, haveevo|ij|
