Gross Active Accounts

With Advisors Plus 6.07%

Increasing active accounts is a major factor in determining portfolio growth. Successful financial institutions smartly invest in account acquisition programs while using available information and technology to ensure that high-quality performance standards are maintained. In turn, more quality accounts will drive growth in sales volume and balances – which are the lynchpins for interchange and finance charge revenue respectively.

Outstanding Balances

With Advisors Plus 6.86%

Without Advisors Plus 0.34%

The importance of balance growth is related to the growth of finance charge revenue – the key to a credit card program’s profitability and main driver of the bottom line. With increasing pressure on interest rates, finance charge revenue is an increasingly important component of portfolio profitability.

Transaction growth occurs through both account growth and account management. Engaged financial institutions not only focus on growing their account base but also execute targeted marketing programs that increase usage within their existing portfolios. These programs typically include tactics such as Reward incentives and credit line increases – all designed in a way to responsibly increase usage and gain top-of-wallet status.

Overall Dollar Volume

With Advisors Plus 10.17%
Without Advisors Plus 6.79%

Be sure to look at how your card loans have increased in the past. Is it growth that comes from new balances or is it coming from finance charges and fee income? Do your payments exceed sales, leaving growth to finance charges and fees?
