Discover was first founded in 1986. The company's unveiling happened during the Super Bowl of that year, in which the company offered its "Dawn of Discover" commercial, alerting the perception of what credit cards could provide. Since the company's start, it has been dedicated to providing what people need and want in their credit lenders. This included a wealth of changes in how consumers managed their money on a daily basis. The company offered new features and services. The company was one of the first to offer a no annual fee and to offer cash rewards to their users.

Discover Card is known as "America's cash rewards pioneer" and the company's card has become a symbol of innovation since the dawn of its existence. Today, you can count on Discover to provide you with a range of features and services, including the no annual fee and cash back credit lines they become known for.

A look at how large Discover is can really put into prospective how fitting this company is. The company processes more than 3 billion transactions a year (a 2006 figure.) Additionally, they provide millions of people with the ability to purchase and invest from around the world. The company offers their Discover Network of services to those in the US, Canada, Central America, Caribbean and in Mexico. They have done this through their partnership with PULSE, a company providing financial institutions with ATM and money movement services.

Discover credit cards are flexible, but are generally designed for those with good or better credit scores. The company's rewards programs are well known because they are highly lucrative (their interest rates often make it more affordable to invest in Discover rewards than other credit card reward programs.)

Discover also offers a number of business reward credit cards, including cash back and travel benefits. These include flexible credit limits and low interest rates.

Discover is not an old company, but in the time that it has been established, it has grown to be one of the most recognizable credit lines, especially for the rewards programs it offers.
