About ECR

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 UK's Audit Bureau of Circulation – ECR has the biggest distribution in Europe of any cards industry publication.

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.

Other regular topics include country profiles, credit card programmes,
debit cards, internet and mobile payments, supplier and vendor products and
fraud. A wealth of tables and statistics provides essential industry data
with every issue.

Published annually with the July/August issue, ECR’s standard-setting
Buyers Guide is an essential reference work for suppliers and vendors and
their customers, while the virtual version can be accessed all year round on
ECR’s website.

Launched in November 1994, European Card Review sets the highest
standards of editorial coverage in its area of the publishing business,
blending timely items of news with in-depth analysis and features
contributed by a range of outside experts.

No other publication in Europe comes anywhere near its combination of
authoritative editorial coverage and broadly-based circulation to all the
major players in the region’s payment cards industry.
