Barclays is actually a bigger bank than both Chase and Citi!All three are big on a pretty big scale. In 2012, according to Yahoo finance, JPMorgan Chase, the holding Company for the banking operations, was $2.4 Trillion in Total Assets. At the same time, Barclays PLC, the parent for Barclays was $2.0 Trillion. They are both global giants, not much to really argue about here, except that neither likely want losses. Also, Citi was $1.9 Trillion. When you're that big, what's a $100 billion difference????

I was really only stating it because it amuses me how some folk on here sometimes seem to perceive Barclays as a small-time operation. One bank I'm surprised hasn't made any real inroads into the US credit card market is HSBC, other than a token offering.
The US credit card division is tiny compared to Chase Card Services and Citicards for example. Barclaycard US has just over 8 million accounts including 29,000 Ring cardholders and 300,000 Arrival accounts. I think this is where people consider them to be small timers.
