If your city is home to one of the major credit card centers, are you particularly aware of it in your community?
I’ve noticed that a lot of credit card offers, bills, replacement cards, etc., come from one of three places: Wilmington, Delaware; Sioux Falls, South Dakota; and Omaha, Nebraska.
If you live in one of those cities, or another that is a major hub of the credit card industry, is it one of those local businesses that everyone is aware of? Is it a big employer? Does it have a conspicuous campus? Does it stage big local events under its own name? Do its rhythms affect the rhythms of the city?
Or is it more like a shadow presence that doesn’t call attention to itself and that most people never think about?
I’m just curious. No other reason.
