Discover isn't alone in these trends, and it's likely other card networks will see similar or worse downfalls this year, leaving providers to compete for a waning share of spend while minimizing the risk of charge-offs.
Discover is tightening underwriting for new customers, minimizing balance transfers, and taking other steps related to credit line management to reduce its risk.
