About Discover Card

Discover is a credit card company that mostly operates in the United States. Sears first debuted it in 1985. Discover did not charge an annual fee when it first began, and it offered a higher-than-average credit limit, both of which were novel features in the credit card business at the time. The "Cashback Bonus" on purchases was the following invention. 

 

Discover Bank, previously the Greenwood Trust Company, issues the majority of Discover cards. The Discover Network payment network is used to handle Discover transactions. Discover Financial Services bought Pulse, an electronic money transfer network, in 2005, giving them the ability to advertise and issue debit and ATM cards. Discover Financial Services said in February 2006 that, as a result of its acquisition of Pulse, it will begin issuing Discover debit cards to other financial institutions.

 

With 57 million cardholders, Discover is the third largest credit card brand in the United States by number of cards in circulation, after Visa and MasterCard.
