Credit cards

May 31, 2006 1:08 PM

Are there any online resources that would tell me what percent of Americans have a certain brand of credit card? Like an industry group site or a government site? Thanks

Brand like "Visa" or brand like "Citibank"?

Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover to be specific. Not bank brand.

The Nilson Report.

See bottom right corner of that page, it's slightly cut-off, but I can see: Visa 60%, MasterCard 33%, AmEx 3%, Diner's Club 1%, presumably others at 3%.

Mullac, you've made me look good in front of my boss. May you live long and prosper.

Sorry, that's a "worldwide" chart. I'd call and bug them for some free data.

Don't know for sure, but I'd try CardWeb or IndexCreditCards. They both have industry data. A lot of CardWeb's makes you pay, though. You might also be able to buy that info from the Nilson Report mentioned above.
