Acquisitions
Providian
In July 2003, Barclaycard took over the United Kingdom wing of the American Company Providian National Bank, known as Monument, when it was sold off due to financial irregularities of its American parent company. Barclaycard sold the Monument business and premises to Compucredit in 2007.
Egg
In March 2011, Barclays announced that it would be buying the British credit card business arm of Egg from Citigroup for an undisclosed price. At the time of the announcement, Barclays claimed that the credit card assets consisted of 1.15 million accounts with approximately £2.3bn of gross receivables.
They intend to integrate those customers within their own credit card arm. At the time of the announcement, Citi said it was "committed to working with Barclays on a seamless transfer of the customer accounts, ensuring continuation of the high level of service to which customers are accustomed".
Analog Analytics
In June 2012, Barclaycard acquired Analog Analytics, a digital coupon and daily deal business similar to Groupon.
The Logic Group
During September 2014, it was announced that Barclaycard was to acquire The Logic Group, a based payment and loyalty business based within the United Kingdom. The procurement would enable Barclaycard's clients to benefit from The Logic Group's single platform transaction processing capabilities, alongside data insights which would allow merchants to better target their services to customers.
Toward the end of 2014, Barclaycard confirmed that the acquisition had since been completed.
