* The list should the name of the issuer, the number of small business
cardholder accounts the issuer has, and the website of the issuer.

* This is for US-Based small business cardholders only.

* By "largest" I mean the largest number of U.S. small business
cardholders, not the largest balances or largest revenues of the bank.

* It is OK to count small business charge cardholders (such as
American Express charge cards) in the totals.

Hello skriplani!

There are website that present list of credit card issuers, but I did
not come across the cardholders accounts. On further search I came to
know that this is withheld due to security reasons.

Will it suffice the answer if I give you list of US credit cards
issuers, summary of credit card services offered (like APR, Grace
period, Payment Fee, Overlimit fee, etc) and their websites.

Thanks

Unfortunately, the information is interesting to me only if I know the
total size of the US based small business credit card portfolio of the
issuer.  To clarify, I do *not* need to know the names of the
individual cardholders, only the total number of them.  For example,
if you said that Capital One had 1,124,319 total US based small
business cardholders, that would be sufficient information about
Capital One.

If it is not possible to obtain the total *number* of cardholders, I
would be willing to accept the total *balances* that are classified as
US based and small business.  However, just knowing the terms of the
cards is not interesting to me, and just having a list of small
business card issuers is not interesting to me.
