PREMIER Bankcard, Inc.

PREMIER Bankcard, Inc. is the kind of company people reach for when they want a credit card program rather than a full-service bank. By our assessment, its real strength is focus: bankcards are a clear, narrow product, and that usually means the business knows exactly which corner of finance it wants to occupy. The trade-off is narrowness, because a card issuer is not a place for broad banking needs, branch service, or the feel of a traditional bank. In practice this kind of company tends to be judged by the card it offers, the terms around it, and the servicing behind the account. Compared with big banks, it sits closer to the specialist end of the market. PREMIER Bankcard, Inc. therefore reads as a utility for a specific job, not a general financial home.
