Key Takeaways
-
As a network, Visa has the most cards in circulation, outpacing Mastercard for the top spot on this list.
-
As a bank, Chase is the largest issuer of general-purpose credit cards and partners with a diverse range of brands.
-
Discover and American Express are the only credit card issuers on this list that also operate their own payment networks.
Credit card companies, like most other things in life, come in all shapes and sizes.
Some are titans of the industry, accounting for a significant chunk of the $6 trillion U.S. cardholders spent in 2024. Others lack any kind of name recognition — outside of their employees, and, presumably, a handful of customers.
You don’t want to entrust your financial future to just any credit card company. So, if you’re looking to get a new credit card, where do you even start?
Below we list the 15 largest credit card companies (as measured by the number of cards in circulation), along with the issuer’s general credit score requirements, links to their top credit cards, and where to apply.
