The data shows the number of credit card holders in the U.S. from 2000 to 2010 and a forecast thereof for 2016, by type of credit card. There were 100 million Visa credit card holders in the U.S. in 2010 and this number was predicted to increase to 124 million in 2016.
As the number of credit card holders has risen in the U.S., you might assume that the amount of debt these credit card holders are producing might have risen accordingly. Credit card debt in the United States measured amounted to 830 billion USD in the fourth quarter of 2017.
