The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) regularly surveys and collects information on credit card terms from over 150 issuers of all sizes across the country as required by the law.
The CFPB’s analysis of this credit card data found that:
The CFPB’s latest survey includes data on 643 credit cards from 156 issuers (84 banks and 72 credit unions) offered from January through June 2023. 430 cards were available nationally, while the remaining were only offered regionally or in a single state. The CFPB collected information on all general-purpose credit cards with the largest 25 credit card issuers in the U.S. as well as a representative sample of products from small and medium-sized banks and credit unions across the country. The information includes data on Purchase APR, which is the interest rate issuers charge on purchases when consumers carry a balance.
