Overview
Results in 2021 were stronger than expected for the U.S. credit card industry. Revolving debt rebounded, delinquencies and losses stayed at record low levels, and new accounts grew by 40 million as both consumers and issuers gained confidence in the economic recovery.

Although indicators look strong now, issuers must keep a keen eye on signs of erosion to minimize risk in 2022.
