THE number of Chinese credit cards almost doubled in the first quarter, the central bank said yesterday.
China had more than 104.73 million credit cards in circulation at the end of March, up 92.9 percent since a year ago, the People's Bank of China said yesterday on its Website.
China's total bank cards, including debit and credit cards, topped 1.58 billion by March 31, up 29.1 percent over the year, the central bank said. Debit cards still dominate China's bank card market, accounting for 93.4 percent of the market total.
Bank card-based transactions accounted for 25.6 percent of the country's total retail sales, up from last year's 21.9 percent.
Transaction value on bank cards rose 58 percent year on year to 824.6 billion yuan (US$119.5 billion).

The ownership of credit cards has become particularly popular among China's young consumers. As of the end of last year, China's banks had issued 170 million credit cards.
