Some merchants and organizations form marketing arrangements with financial institutions to issue credit cards with a merchant or organization name (the partner) on the front of the card that can be used only at that merchant or organization. These cards are termed private-label cards. These cards do not carry a bankcard company logo, and the merchant typically plays a limited role in the issuance of the card or managing the credit relationship.

For the purpose of this report, private-label credit cards are distinguished from program-branded credit cards that are used primarily for the purchase of goods and services from a program network.
