“For the first time since the financial crisis began, approximately 33% of new credit cards were placed in the hands of subprime borrowers, those with credit scores under 660. By comparison, the most credit-worthy customers generally have scores between 725 and 850, where the scale tops out. What is prompting this party atmosphere? A recovering economy and brighter jobs picture are surely part of the reason, as well as the fact that banking revenue from other areas such as mortgages has become almost nonexistent. This last factor makes subprime borrowers, who usually pay much higher interest rates than prime customers, especially attractive.”
