European Card Review

          

Published bi-monthly, European Card Review is the leading magazine covering the payment cards business in Europe.

At more than 9,000 copies per issue - validated by the Audit Bureau of Circulation - ECR has the biggest distribution of any Europe-based cards publication. No other publication in Europe comes anywhere near its combination of authoritative editorial coverage and broadly-based audited circulation to all the major players in the region's payment cards industry.

Its readers are senior industry executives with responsibility for managing all types of payment card programmes. ECR is also required reading for central bankers, regulators, card association executives, consultants, vendors and service providers. As well as editorial coverage of payments in western Europe, ECR has invested for the past 11 years in expanding its distribution in the dynamic emerging markets of central and eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. ECR today has a stronger presence in this region than any other card market publication.

ECR stays in close contact with trends in the industry, particularly card processing, POS terminals, contactless systems, mobile and internet payments, and innovations in payment card technology.
