  1. Prof. CSB says:

    Most major banks issue credit cards as part of their business. They may not do the processing themselves, but they are the ones who lend money to credit card users. In fact, companies like Visa and Mastercard make their money when someone uses one of their cards, but they are not on the hook for the transaction itself. It is the issuing bank that has to collect it from the user.
