Data is at the center of everything we do. As a startup, we disrupted the credit card industry by individually personalizing every credit card offer using statistical modeling and relational databases in 1988. Fast-forward a few years, and this little innovation and our passion for data have skyrocketed us to a Fortune 200 company and a leader in the world of data-driven decision-making.
