3. Card Protection Metrics: Consumer Approaches to Card Protection Insurance in Europe
What is the research?
Finaccord’s Card Protection Metrics series of reports offer unique and detailed insights into the
behaviour of cardholders in the context of card protection insurance. Based on a primary survey of
over 6,000 consumers in France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain and the UK carried out in the
second half of 2012, the research provides valuable data describing the extent to which consumers
with debit and / or credit cards take out card protection insurance.
In addition to calculating the percentage of cardholders holding card protection insurance in each
country, the investigation also analyses the types of policy that they hold (i.e. insurance that they
are paying for separately or 'free' cover), the range of features and services that they believe that
their insurance includes, and the distribution channels and interfaces used to take out card
protection insurance paid for separately.
Finally, the reports measure the extent to which respondents with card protection insurance actually
use their policy to make a claim or call for assistance, thereby calculating the implied annual ratio of
usage to total policies in force.

8. Card Protection Metrics: Consumer Approaches to Card Protection Insurance in Europe
What is the report structure (for the overview report)?
0. Executive Summary: providing a concise evaluation of the principal findings of the report.
1. Introduction: offering rationale and definitions.
2. European Overview: this chapter provides a comparison across all six countries of the proportion of cardholders
with card protection insurance and how this penetration rate varies between respondents according to the type(s) of
cards that they hold and according to their age, annual household income, employment status and gender. It also
differentiates insured cardholders between those paying separately for their insurance and those who acquired their
insurance at no extra cost through packaging with an added value account or payment card. In addition, it highlights
the features and services of card protection insurance which insured respondents believe that they have access to,
compares the distribution interfaces used to acquire policies paid for separately (namely, a face-to-face setting,
online, a telephone call to the insurance provider, a telephone call from the insurance provider or the post) and the
distribution channels used in the same context. Finally, it presents data illustrating the extent to which insured
cardholders actually ever use their policy to make a claim or call for assistance, facilitating computation of an implied
annual ratio of usage to total policies in force.
3. France: this chapter presents the same information as described above exclusively as it pertains to consumer
approaches to card protection insurance in France.
4 - 8: Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain and UK (all contents as for France).
9. Appendix: including a full transcript of the online questionnaire used for the research.

9. Card Protection Metrics: Consumer Approaches to Card Protection Insurance in Europe
What are the key features of the research?
Key features of the reports in this series include:
• robust analyses showing the percentage of cardholders that acquire card protection insurance in
each country, the potential for this proportion to grow further and how cross-selling rates differ
between debit and credit cards;
• the key segmentation of insured respondents between those that report acquiring their card
protection policy at no additional cost (i.e. bundled with an added value account or payment card)
and those making a separate payment for it;
• unique data describing the proportion of cardholders in each country stating that their insurance
provides them with particular features and services, including whether it covers all of their own cards
plus those of other family members;
• accurate statistics illustrating the extent to which sales of card protection insurance are made
through remote interfaces (i.e. internet, telephone and post) as well as through face-to-face contact;
• reliable information displaying how many insured cardholders in each country actually use their
policy each year and, among those that do, whether they do so once, twice or three or more times.

10. Card Protection Metrics: Consumer Approaches to Card Protection Insurance in Europe
How can the research be used?
You may be able to use the reports in this series in one or more of the following ways:
• understand the differing penetration rates of card protection insurance among cardholders in
France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain and the UK, and the variations that occur for particular socio-
demographic groups;
• appreciate how many cardholders are paying separately for their card protection insurance and
how many acquire it packaged with an added value account or payment card as a 'free' benefit;
• evaluate the evidence for increasing penetration of card protection insurance by enriching the
features and services that are offered to cardholders by means of such policies;
• consider the likely success in each country of developing or optimising online distribution channels
to promote card protection insurance to uninsured cardholders;
• assess the degree to which cardholders with card protection insurance actually use their policy in
any given year to make a claim or to call for assistance, and what this might mean for the profitability
of this type of cover.

be able to arrive at a detailed understanding of the dynamics of this under-researched market
which can be used when planning strategy or negotiating new distribution partnerships;

fundamental role in the development of card protection insurance policies in all six countries
researched;

insurance to improve its performance in this sector in France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain or
the UK? If so, this research will provide you with unique insights into consumer behaviour in

What are some of the key findings? (cont.)
Key findings from executive summaries in this series include the following:
• averaged across all six countries, 89.3% of respondents stated that they held a debit or credit
card (or more than one of either) among whom 11.3% were reportedly covered by card protection
insurance that they were paying for separately and 18.1% by card protection cover that they had
acquired at no additional cost giving an overall take-up rate of 29.4%;
• an average of 47.3% of insured respondents stated that their policy covered one card only, 13.5%
that it covered all cards in their possession and 39.2% that it also covered the debit or credit cards
of other family members living at the same address;
• respondents in France were by far the most likely to have acquired their policy in a face-to-face
setting while respondents in Germany, Italy and the UK were much more likely to report that they
had purchased their policy online;
• with regards to the degree to which respondents reported having made use of their card
protection insurance to make a claim or to call for assistance on at least one occasion, those in Italy
displayed the highest utilisation rate, followed by those in Spain and France.
