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.[6] They intended 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".[7] Analog AnalyticsIn June 2012, Barclaycard acquired Analog Analytics, a digital coupon and daily deal business similar to Groupon.[8][9] The Logic GroupDuring September 2014, it was announced that Barclaycard was to acquire The Logic Group,[10] 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.[11] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.mynewsdesk.com/uk/view/pressrelease/npower-barclaycard-freedom-scheme-customers-to-receive-boost-from-npower-383604|title=General News UK: npower: Barclaycard Freedom Scheme Customers to Receive Boost from npower|date=2010-03-15|work=© 2010 Newsdesk AB|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100323035738/http://www.mynewsdesk.com/uk/view/pressrelease/npower-barclaycard-freedom-scheme-customers-to-receive-boost-from-npower-383604|archivedate=2010-03-23|accessdate=2014-01-10}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 http://www.accesscreditcard.info/history66-72.aspx 3. ^{{cite news|title=1963: American Express comes to Britain|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/september/10/newsid_3031000/3031968.stm|accessdate=19 January 2016|publisher=news.bbc.co.uk}} 4. ^{{cite web|author=Thu, 24 Jul 2003 |url=http://www.marketingweek.co.uk/home/barclays-picks-ehs-for-acirc1635m-providian-job/2005711.article |title=Barclays picks EHS for £5m Providian job | Archive |publisher=Marketing Week |date=24 July 2003 |accessdate=24 September 2012}} 5. ^{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6528655.stm |title=Business | Barclays sells sub-prime business |publisher=BBC News |date=5 April 2007 |accessdate=24 September 2012}} 6. ^{{cite news|author=Reuters |url=https://www.theguardian.com/business/2011/mar/01/barclays-buy-egg-credit-card |title=Barclays to buy Egg credit card | Business | guardian.co.uk |publisher=Guardian |date= 1 March 2011|accessdate=24 September 2012 |location=London}} 7. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-12612927 |title=BBC News - Egg credit cards bought by Barclays bank |publisher=Bbc.co.uk |date=1 March 2011 |accessdate=24 September 2012}} 8. ^{{cite web|last1=Bigelow|first1=Bruce|title=Barclaycard Acquires Social Couponing Startup Analog Analytics|url=http://www.xconomy.com/national/2012/06/04/barclaycard-acquires-social-couponing-startup-analog-analytics/|website=www.xconomy.com|accessdate=6 April 2015|ref=LN1}} 9. ^{{cite web|last1=Kamanec|first1=Kara|title=Barclays Group PLC Member, Barclaycard, Purchases Analog Analytics|url=http://www.dailydealmedia.com/726barclays-group-plc-memeber-barclaycard-purchases-analog-analytics/|website=www.dailydealmedia.com|accessdate=6 April 2015|ref=LN2}} 10. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.the-logic-group.com/pressrelease/Barclaycard-to-acquire-The-Logic-Group|title=Barclaycard to acquire payment and loyalty specialist The Logic Group|last=|first=|date=|website=|publisher=|access-date=}} 11. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.home.barclaycard/news/barclaycard-to-acquire-the-logic-group.html|title=Barclaycard to acquire The Logic Group|last=|first=|date=|website=|publisher=|access-date=}} External links
