Americans are accustomed to charging expenses. When they don’t have enough cash to pay, they turn to credit cards to cover the difference. Credit card usage has increased over the years, and in 2024, it reached a record amount, exceeding $1 trillion. Consumer credit is big business for commercial banks, which can set borrowing rates on credit cards at double-digit rates — higher than those for other types of consumer loans. Here's a full breakdown: #credit #debt #economy
American credit card indebtedness has risen since the pandemic as consumers increasingly turn to plastic as inflation erodes their incomes. Here’s where things stand.

Credit Union Senior Executive: Coaching & Mentorship • Customer Acquisition & Retention • Growth & Turnaround Strategies ➢ Track record of empowering leadership, organizational growth, and productive Board relationships.
🗣 I continue to emphasize that the situation is more challenging than commonly believed. For organizations managing credit cards internally, there are rough waters on the horizon. A few are innovating, but questionably, to reduce delinquencies on record. Raising limits for customers at their max to deepen their debt, or allowing borrowers to use cash advances for monthly payments to avoid reporting, hopefully draws regulatory scrutiny. I always believed credit unions or banks under 3 bill were in dangerous waters if too deep in the cc business. As financial physicians, I always believed the job was to better lives and help get folks out of debt. Raising limits to worsen the situation but disguise delinquency or allowing cash advances into accounts just to be returned in the form of a payment twenty seconds later sure seems like a 🏠 of cards. These articles which are more regular daily are missing the fact that it is even worse than believed. When the unethical become desperate... Buckle up! #CreditCards #Regulations #FinanceIndustry
