[edit] Credit Card Brands

What're all the different credit card brands or organizations that exist in the world? If there's a list or article anywhere I don't see it. This would be really useful information, as the only ones I can think of are American Express, Discover, Mastercard & VISA, and I'm sure a lot of that is due to my American perspective.

There's one called Diners Club and lots of national and regional brands. I can easily come up with at least 5 local credit card names in my country. Oskilian 21:43, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
Diners Club cards, though, are issued by Mastercard. Where're you from that there are so many credit card companies? Like I said, a comprehensive list or article would really be useful on this subject. caz | speak 19:10, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
To be honest, I think American Express, Mastercard and VISA are pretty much the biggest ones throughout the world. MasterCard and VISA are most prevalent here in the UK, with American Express also very common, though not quite as widely used (or indeed as widely accepted by merchants). I don't think the "Discover" brand exists here at all - if it does, it's very rare. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.155.138.250 (talk) 20:58, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] How Credit Cards Work complexity

This section seems to be pretty complex. As it's a complicated topic, this section could be further broken down to increase readability and understanding. Are there any finance geeks out there that could reorganize this section without losing validity and accuracy? Thanks. --Jophus00 (talk) 15:55, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
