Card Portfolio Sales and ValuationsDeciding to sell your portfolio is never an easy decision to reach, especially considering the very reason the sale would generate a profit is the strong current and future earnings from the portfolio. When you divest, you give up that future earnings stream. Still, when an organization needs an immediate boost to earnings or capital, or both, the card portfolio becomes an even stronger contributor to shareholder value through a portfolio sale, partial or total. 5 issuers sold their portfolios last year. They ranged in value from $20MM to over $7 Billion.
Credit Card Portfolio AcquisitionsThe development of a successful portfolio acquisition strategy requires an enormous amount of time and energy. It is important to note that 99% of the issuers are now competing for the 1% who choose to sell their portfolios. Without a sound strategy in place, what often happens is a buyer continues to look at every deal brought its way, bidding on a few, passing on most, and unfortunately, not successfully closing any.

We understand the economics of the business and how to establish criteria by which you can accurately evaluate portfolio transactions.
