The larges bank in the U.S. will become the card’s new issuer, assuming control of one of the largest co-branded programs with roughly $20B in balances, in a pact that has been in the works for over a year, the authors note. Goldman is anticipated to offload the approximately $20B of outstanding balances at an over $1B discount, the authors say, adding that the deal is expected to be announced soon.
