(a)Our policy is generally to accrue interest through the date of write-off (typically 180 days past due). We establish reserves for interest that we believe will not be collected.
(b)Non-accrual Card balances primarily include certain Card balances placed with outside collection agencies for which we have ceased accruing interest.
(c)For corporate accounts, delinquency data is tracked based on days past billing status rather than days past due. A Card Member account is considered 90 days past billing if payment has not been received within 90 days of the Card Member’s billing statement date. In addition, if we initiate collection procedures on an account prior to the account becoming 90 days past billing, the associated Card balances are classified as 90 days past billing. These amounts are shown above as 90+ Days Past Due for presentation purposes. See also (d).
(d)Delinquency data for periods other than 90+ days past billing has not historically been available due to system constraints. Therefore, such data has not been a material input for risk management purposes. The balances that are current to 89 days past billing can be derived as the difference between the Total and the 90+ Days Past Due balances.
The following tables present the aging and gross write-offs for Other loans by year of origination as of or for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and as of or for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025:

(a)Revolving loans consist primarily of lines of credit offered to small business customers. Revolving loans include $5 million of term loans that were converted from revolving loans.
(b)Over 90 days past due includes $8 million and $7 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, of loans on which interest is still accruing. Our policy is generally to accrue interest through the date of write-off (typically 120 days past due) except for lines of credit offered to small business customers, where interest ceases to accrue at 90 days past due. We establish reserves for interest that we believe will not be collected.
(c)This total includes non-accrual loans of $19 million and $16 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Non-accruals for consumer installment loans primarily include certain loans placed with outside collection agencies for which we have ceased accruing interest.

(a)We present a net write-off rate based on principal losses only (i.e., excluding interest and/or fees) to be consistent with industry convention. In addition, as our practice is to include uncollectible interest and/or fees as part of our total provision for credit losses, a net write-off rate including principal, interest and/or fees is also presented.
(b)Net write-off rate based on principal losses only is not available due to system constraints.
(c)For corporate Card balances, delinquency data is tracked based on days past billing status rather than days past due. Delinquency data for periods other than 90+ days past billing is not available due to system constraints. 90+ days past billing as a percent of total was 0.4% as of both March 31, 2026 and 2025.
