in Credit cards
The Argos store card has been sold to New Day. No changes at the moment apparently. I think this is the last store card remaining not connected to Mastercard or Visa.

I was astonised to read that 20% of all sales at Argos are via Argos credit, I didn't think it would be so high! Is this a high street legacy thing? Did they used to lend when others didn't? The £720 million price tag New Day have paid shows it must be quite a sizeable and quite profitable portfolio. That is just shy of the price Coventry Building Society are paying to buy the Co-op Bank with £40bn of assets and 2 million customers, but then that's about the same number as Argos credit has as customers.0

Received this email about my Argos card today it says there will be no immediate changes.Time is a path from the past to the future and back again. The present is the crossroads of both. :cool:0
