However, again reflecting the financial pressure on households in 2024, both months are lower than the previous year, by 2.5% and 1.5% respectively.\nHighlights\n\nSales dropped 5.5% month on month to an average of £790 in October but have increased by 1% on the previous year\nAfter a 0.5% increase in September, average balances experienced the usual pre-Christmas drop – down 0.9% to an average of £1,815 in October\nBucking the usual annual trend, there were marginal increases in the percentage of balance paid in September and October\nThe pattern of late payments has also stabilised year-on-year, with an increase only in the percentage of cardholders missing three payments compared to October 2023\nThe percentage of customers using cash on credit cards dropped in October to 3.45%, having peaked in September at 3.54%\n\nFICO Comment\nCompared to all vintages of credit card holders, veteran customers (who have had their credit card for five years or more) have the highest delinquent balances for those missing two or three payments. This group also has the highest average credit limit. Whilst it is expected that this group of customers may have higher credit limits as they have had their cards for longer and will probably have been offered limit increases at some point, their average active balance is lower than for the new or established groups of card holders.\nGiven the continued financial pressures affecting households, risk managers should review both limit management and collections contact strategies, with a particular focus on the veteran customer group. These customers may be missing payments for the first time and may need more tailored support.\nFor habitual late payers, they may have become accustomed to the same collections contact methods each time they miss payments. Shuffling when treatment is actioned for these customers, and incorporating different communications channels by adding in rules looking at ‘number of times missed one / two / three payments last 12 months’, could help improve collection performance on higher balances.\n\n\n\nKey Trend Indicators – UK Cards October 2024\n\n\nMetric\nAmount\nMonth-on-MonthChange\nYear-on-YearChange\n\n\nAverage UK Credit Card Spend\n£790\n-5.5%\n+1%\n\n\nAverage Card Balance\n£1,815\n-0.9%\n+5.2%\n\n\nPercentage of Payments to Balance\n37.17%\n+0.3%\n-1.5%\n\n\nAccounts with One Missed Payment\n1.46%\n+3.8%\n-8.6%\n\n\nAccounts with Two Missed Payments\n0.32%\n+0.3%\n-4.9%\n\n\nAccounts with Three Missed Payments\n0.2%\n-3.1%\n0.3%\n\n\nAverage Credit Limit\n£5,765\n+0.2%\n+2.8%\n\n\nAverage Overlimit Spend\n£90\n+4.6%\n+1.1%\n\n\nCash Sales as a % of Total Sales\n0.87%\n-3.7%\n-7.6%\n\n\nSource: FICO\n\n\n\nThese card performance figures are part of the data shared with subscribers of the FICO® Benchmark Reporting Service.
