What is the research?

Retailer Consumer Finance and Banking in the Asia-Pacific Region is a report, based on a survey

of over 1,500 prominent retail brands in 14 countries, about the provision of consumer finance at

the point of sale by major retailers across the Asia-Pacific region. Retailer initiatives in savings

deposits, personal loans, mortgages and international remittances are also considered.

Countries covered are Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, New

Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.

In total, the research identifies over 150 consumer finance schemes and over 70 product initiatives

in retailer banking, thereby providing a definitive analysis of retailer consumer finance and banking

in the Asia-Pacific region that goes far beyond the scope of previous published research.

Moreover, the PartnerBASE™ dataset that accompanies the report details each of the many retailer

consumer finance and banking programs traced by Finaccord, specifying the operating models

used by retailers and the identities and ultimate holding companies of the ultimate product

providers in each case.






What is the rationale?

A number of factors, some of which are specific to consumer finance or banking and some to

retailing, provide the rationale for the development of this report. With reference to consumer

finance and banking, in particular, these factors include those which follow:

- the consumer credit markets of many countries are continuing to grow and retailers can take

advantage of this through setting up their own consumer finance schemes;

- in terms of the outright number of opportunities, retailing is one of the most important fields in

which providers of consumer finance can establish partnerships;

- retailer-branded banks can represent an attractive alternative to mainstream consumer banks in

markets in which banking sector consolidation has reduced the range of options available;

- the customer information gathered from consumer finance and banking products can be used to

cross-sell insurance and other services.

Furthermore, dynamics in the retailing market itself also give rise to increasing rationale both for

retailer consumer finance and banking and a comprehensive study on the subject covering the

Asia-Pacific region.






What is the rationale? (continued)

Key developments in the retailing sector include:

- an improving environment for consumer lending, thereby encouraging retailers to develop their

own consumer finance schemes in order to capture a share of this market;

- retailer consolidation in both more and less developed markets which helps to produce national

champions with the branding, muscle and general profile needed to succeed in the consumer

finance and banking sectors in these countries;

- retailer growth in the less developed markets as an increasing proportion of consumers allocate

their expenditure to formal retailing concepts as opposed to informal street markets and the like;

- a mature environment for retailing in the more developed markets which signifies that retailers

need to investigate new means of achieving revenue growth which can include financial services, in

general, and consumer finance and banking, in particular;

- increasing internationalisation which potentially paves the way for cross-border alliances between

retailers and mainstream banks.






What methodology has been used?

The main research input into this study is Finaccord’s on-going investigation of the involvement in

financial services, in general, and consumer finance and banking, in particular, of over 1,500 major

retailing brands across 14 countries in the Asia-Pacific region.

In the specific context of this report, the aim of the investigation is to gather top-level data concerning

the consumer finance and banking products offered by the organisations in question, the operating

models that they use and the providers with which they work in this 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 organisations involved in the consumer finance and

banking sectors. Indeed, the major retailers break down by category and by country as illustrated in

the graphics overleaf.

How can the PartnerBASE™ be used?






Who can use the research?

1. Consumer finance companies: this study is an up-to-date and comprehensive source of information

about retailer consumer finance in 14 countries and represents an indispensable guide to over 150

retail brands that operate consumer finance programs;

2. Banks and insurance companies: consumer finance schemes can form an effective basis either for

developing broader retailer banking operations or for marketing a range of insurance products to large

and well-defined groups of consumers;

3. Retailers: consumer finance programs represent an important activity for numerous retail brands in

the Asia-Pacific region but how do they organise their involvement in this field and with which partner

organisations do they collaborate?

4. Providers of international remittance services: in addition to coverage of the mainstream banking

products of savings deposits, personal loans and mortgages, the research also identifies partnerships

between major retailers and providers of international remittance services;

5. Management consultancies: are you either assisting a retailer with the development of a consumer

finance or banking scheme or advising a bank or other lending institutions with respect to partnership

opportunities with major retail brands? This research will help you to evaluate the options in retailer

consumer finance and banking, saving time and effort on researching the subject yourself.
