  • CNBC Marathon takes a look at how credit cards work in the U.S., including major industry players like Visa, Amex, and Discover.
    $6.7 trillion. That is how much Americans spent using their debit or credit cards in 2019. More than 60% of those purchases were made using cards from Visa, a company that has long dominated the payment card industry. As payment cards become more essential in our daily lives, Visa has quickly grown to become one of the most valuable companies in America. So how exactly does Visa make money and why does it dominate the payment card industry?
    Clarification: The 10% mentioned in the video at 12:30 refers to 10% of the average 2.2% of the swipe fee charged to merchants.
    And armed with impressive rewards and a loyal customer base, Amex has achieved impressive growth over the years. The company’s revenue has increased over 32% since 2017 and shares of the company have shown resilience and growth in a tumultuous market. Yet Amex is far from dominating the credit card industry compared to the likes of Visa and Mastercard. So what is the secret to Amex’s success and where is it headed next?
    Credit scores, which represent how likely a person is to pay his or her bills, affects almost every aspect of an American’s financial life. One key benefit built into the credit scoring system is its nondiscriminatory practice of using just numbers to determine a person’s creditworthiness. “Credit scoring when it was first developed was an advancement,” said Chi Chi Wu, staff attorney at the National Consumer Law Center. “It is better than having some banker sit across from you and judge you and read the information in your credit report, because they bring a lot of their subjective analysis and their own life experience into the analysis.” But despite the good intentions of credit report companies, many experts argue that the current system is still discriminatory.
    Lastly, Discover is one of the largest credit card issuers in the U.S. and consistently tops a customer satisfaction survey. However, the stock has mostly underperformed that of the S&P 500 and its credit card competitors. So how does Discover stack up to its competitors and what’s unique about its business model? Watch the video to find out.

    Some economists have projected that both the U.S. and parts of Europe could slip into a recession for a portion of 2023. A global recession, defined as a contraction in annual global per capita income, is more rare because China and emerging markets often grow faster than more developed economies. Essentially the world economy is considered to be in recession if economic growth falls behind population growth.

    Honestly I appreciate you and your content < Technical Analysis is good but I find It truly baffling that major crypto youtubers just look mostly at pure T.A and completely ignore the bigger narrative of why BTC is pumps/pumped and why the future outlook will be even rosier than it seems. It's kinda irresponsible to ignore the fact that each ETF launch so far has caused a major dump at the peaks of BTC. We were already on shaky footing with historically low volume and almost pure whale pumps,narrowly avoiding a long-term bear market. More emphasis should be put into day tradiing as it is less affected by the unpredictable nature of the market. I have made over 12 btc from day tradng with MYSTICFLIP insights and charts.His been one step ahead of other analysis..

    i went from no credit to excelent credit in 3 years... the guy is right, its simple. never miss a payment. only pay for things u can afford. pay your balances at the end of the month to keep your balances low (and to avoid finance charges) and bam excellent credit :)

      @abdul-kabiralegbe5660 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Were you charged interest for using the credit cards or does interest only come in when you default on the payment schedule? Does your bank automatically pay the money you "borrowed" (due to credit card use) before the payment date is due (I'm assuming you already have the money in your account)?
      I'm trying to understand if you basically use the credit card like a debit card or if it's possible to live in the US without being denied services when one exclusively uses a debit card.
      Thanks in advance.

      ​@@abdul-kabiralegbe5660 Hey Abdul. You're correct. When you use a credit card, you're basically taking out a loan. The bank pays for your transactions expecting you to pay them at the end of the month. If you dont pay them, then thats when all the fees and interest come. As for being denied service for only using a debit card, don't worry about that. I live in the states and I've never been refused service for not having a credit card. If you do ever get a credit card, treat it like a debit card. Don't spend money you dont have. I hope I answered your question. Cheers.

  • @Degrees-qe5gk
    @Degrees-qe5gk ปีที่แล้ว +56

    Get credit cards, they help your credit. There literally 3 rules to be a good credit user:
    1. Pay off your amount in full every month.
    2. Dont go over 35% of your credit limit. (Ex: If your limit is $1000, don't go over $350)
    3. Keep your credit cards, even if you don't use them (i.e the longer you have a credit card the better)

    • @T.S.000
      @T.S.000 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      1: Check (I always pay the entire balance off every month)
      2: Check (I try not to even go over 10%-15% utilization rate)
      3: Check (I still have my first credit card that I received, since I was 18 years old. Nowadays, I only use that card once or twice a year just to keep the account active - it does not give me any cash rewards)
      The results of doing those 3 things:
      1. I never, once, paid for interest charge, annual fee, or late-fee
      2. Each year, I have been getting a few thousand dollars back in cash rewards between my 3 cards (my oldest card does not give out cash rewards)
      3. My credit score is well over 800
      4. I do not get stressed out about having credit card debts

    • @tallest4eva
      @tallest4eva ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I have a problem with the last rule since it actually doesn't indicate whether someone is a bigger or smaller risk. Being diligent and closing lines of credit you don't need actually implies that one is good at credit management. Having multiple unused lines of credit DOESN'T mean one has a higher probability of paying back their loan correctly. Instead it just incentives users to engage with credit card companies more. Seems like a perverse incentive. Part of your score indicates how much money a bank or creditor might make from you. Again, capitalism creates an incentive counter to the incentive of the consumer.

Given our annual grocery bill, paying the annual fee is more than made up with the extra cash back. I have the AMex on my fitbit so always use that to pay at grocery stores.

    When it comes to credit scores, I think one thing that holds a lot of people back is the length of credit history. Getting a new line of credit lowers the average. Even if you have 10 years of on-time payments and great standing, if you get a new card, it takes years to bring the new average up.

      @@osoriobmw0830 Yes. My oldest account is 9 years old, but my average age for my credit score is just over 2 years due to me getting new cards when my credit score improved. I either have to wait for the average to go up, or I have to be an authorized user on a card from somebody else that has a long history, which is ridiculous.
      And it's not like i could have just waited without getting. That 9 year old line of credit only has a $1000 limit as It was a starter card. With other cards that offer no interest financing for things i needed, my utilization went up, so I had to apply for more lines of credit just to bring utilization down. Plus if you want cards that offer better benefits like travel points, you sometimes need to show that you have other cards with higher limits. The Capital One Venture X card, for example, has a more favorable chance of being approved if you have a line of credit over $6000 that's been open for at least 5 years. If you don't, you're not likely to get approved, even if you have otherwise great credit.

Don't let the merchant fool you into thinking he/she is incurring debt due to your use of a credit card. If the balance is not paid off on a monthly basis, you are the one going further into debt not them.

      I have 20 cards. I only use 1 or 2 at a time. I only use the cards that have 0% apr promotional offers and when those offers expire i make sure i have paid off that card. I get points for using the card and some cards give me $100+ when opening the account after spending a certain amount within a couple months. So, I never pay interest and the credit card pays me for using it. Be a smart user and there are MANY benefits. In a worse case scenario, think about which money you are spending. The money in your bank account or the unsecured credit ??? I rather have money in my bank.

    There is only one winning way to use a credit card. Always pay off the amount before the due date (interest free period), and then accrue the loyalty points. I have been using these cards for the last 45 years and never paid a cent in interest. The card fees are recouped by the accummulation of loyalty points.

      The US lives on credit, and that's cultural. Yet as far as credit cards go, I think it's popularity is historical. Payment cards started off in the US as credit cards, because there was no possibility of checking in real time if the customer had money in their account (no payment terminals, no internet, no telephone modems).
      So the credit card was also a certificate of guarantee: the bank guarantees this customer's bill will be paid by the bank. But once payment terminals and online authorisation became a standard, the profit from credit was such big money, that banks and payment networks were not willing to give them up. I mean, it doesn't make sense - why should I borrow money if I have my own?
      As someone from Poland, where the banking system exploded in the 90's, the credit card is something rather rare - less than 12% of all payment cards, and on a long-term downward trend. I've been practically cashless for at least a decade, yet I've never had a credit card and only once did I regret not having one (an American hotel network in Poland demanded one from me one day before check-in, and I had to phone daddy 🤣).

  • @PascalGienger

    That is one of those things the European Union did well. They put a limit for swipe fees - and that credit cards must not have higher costs for the merchant than a debit card.
    The result of this is that much more supermarkets in Europe accept credit cards.
    And - some US card issuers do not give point or "cashback" anymore when using their cards in the European Union ;-)
    I have a friend having a small shop in Southern Germany, and he pays 1% on everything for just approx $10 a month for the payment terminal - and another who pays 0.3% but with some $500 per month for the terminal.

But it does not give me any cash rewards). So, twice a year (in June & December), I would use it to do a small purchase just to keep it active.
      Normally, I use my 3 other credit cards on, pretty much, everything; since each year, I would get a combined-cash rewards of a few thousand dollars from them. And since I always pay off the full balance and on-time every month, I never had to pay for the interest charge or late fee (and they do not have annual fee).

    The thing that TICKS ME OFF is the merchant concerns about swipe interchange fees. I have recently gotten into the credit card gig literally first secured card 6 months ago, and now I have the American Express Platinum through all the credit building tricks I've done. The amount of value I have received from cash back rewards PLUS charge back protection has been a god send. The interchange fees are helping to make sure I"m not being scammed out of my money when a merchant charges me too much for ex.
    I live in Europe at the moment, and good credit cards don't exist here. Unfortunately, the EU capped interchange fees at 0.3% because it was "too high prices" for consumers and merchants. Yet when they introduced it, did we see merchants passing on their interchange fee savings to consumers? NO. Did we see great value for consumers? NO.
    Literally the MAXIMUM cash back in all of Europe is 1%!!! I'm so lucky that I get to use my Amex and Chase cards here, and since foreign cards are not affected by the 0,3% cap, I still get all the benefits.
    another example, In the late 2010s, Australia capped interchange fees. But did the merchants pass their savings to consumers? NO! Prices not only stayed the same, they actually increased.
    ITS INSANE TO ASSUME that merchants will ever be like "oh wow! I saved 2% more on interchange fees, let me GIVE the 2% to the consumer." NO. They will either reinvest the savings back into the business or like every other money Hungry merchant, just keep the 2% profit like the egg head in the video.

      When prices go down, do you then ask your employer for a decrease in pay?
      Most merchants have high competition so their prices will be dictated by market forces. Further, they have really small margins in many cases. So a decrease in transaction fees will result in an improvement, but the margins are still small.

    Honestly, credit report and score is perfect for financial decision. I ignored this several times with the rental properties, I ended up deed my properties in lieu to the loans because the tenants did not pay rent. Most people with bad credit scores and reports could be better with financial responsibilities.

      If you are reviewing potential tenants, credit history is significant. But I mean credit history, not credit score. If you are not looking at credit history, but simply going by your vague feelings, you not only open yourself up to getting screwed. But also, you might be opening yourself up to charges of discrimination.

      @@swicheroo1 - Negative credit history will result in a negative credit score pretty consistently most of the time. The comment above did not say he was going by "vague feelings". The comment said that a low credit score was indicative of poor credit history and that it was helpful in determining the chances of how reliable people would be in paying rent.

      Maybe fight for workers rights. Annoying that companies are allowed to send people home unpaid whenever to make recording breaking profits. I would have missed rent last month if I didn’t get a new manager who dropped me from 40 hours a week to 10. Without notice. And you’re gonna tell me I need to be more responsible? This year I drop down to 2 meals a day. Don’t remember the last time I bought something from the store that wasn’t food or hygiene

      @@Baseenough No, I did not have more than one property. I rented out my primary residence because I had to return to the Marine Corps on active duty. I believe in capitalism, and life is a gift; how an individual lives is a choice. People choose a high-paying profession that requires higher education, some people decide to drop out of school to start a business, and some people drop out of school and work unskilled labor jobs. It is called the FREEDOMS.

    We depend heavily on the credit score for rental. It have been reliable except for a few who have decent credit score but still can’t pay rent on time or at all. Just finished an eviction who had decent credit score but couldn’t pay rent.

    It's good that they don't based the credit system on things like your level of education but mostly on your history and spending habits. Otherwise, many entrepreneurs who are dropouts would struggle to fund their businesses. It is nice to know that they're informed that your eductation level doesn't determine your financial future. Many countries look at unnecessary credentials like education level for credit evaluation and that is one of the reasons to why the US is wayyy wealthier than them.

      They tell you right in the video. Discover & Amex are both issuers and banks. They are like a “Visa” or a “MasterCard” but they both take the risk of the loan while Visa and MC only provide a network and none of the financials.
      That would be like partnering with your direct competitors.
