CREDIT CARD INDUSTRY
The credit card industry is one of the largest financing businesses in the world. Total U.S. consumer revolving debt -- largely debt on credit cards -- reached $962 billion in 2008.

The top five credit card companies are Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup, Amex, and Capital One. Also well-known are Discover Card, HSBC, Washington Mutual, Wells Fargo, and USAA.
