card spending on consumer and commercial goods and services accounted for 47.18percent in 2012 and 47.37 percent in 2011, according to the statement.
The two-decade expansion in debit’s market share reflected shoppers switching from cashand checks. Growth is limited by the amount of funds in consumers’ accounts, DavidRobertson, publisher of the Nilson Report, said in an interview.
“At some point, people run out of money,” Robertson said. “The behavior has plateaued.”
That contrasts with credit cards, which allow people to borrow money and pay it backover time. Nilson estimates that by the 2017 the market share for credit cards will climb to54.72 percent.
U.S. caps on debit-card transaction fees, mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act, have spurredsome of the biggest U.S. banks to push consumers into credit products to boost revenue.The limits have also driven banks to curtail debit-card rewards programs and add fees forchecking accounts.
