The two biggest card payment networks. Neither lends money; the banks carry the credit risk, and their revenue is small fees on the volume that passes through their networks. The models are so alike that the difference usually comes down to regional mix and the share of cross-border transactions.

Each series is converted to a percentage of its own starting point, so all of them begin at zero. What is compared is the return over the period, not price levels.
