The story

Alliance Data was formed from the December 1996 merger of two entities: J.C. Penney's credit card processing unit and The Limited's credit card bank operation, named World Financial Network National Bank.

In August 1998, Alliance Data acquired LoyaltyOne, then-branded The Loyalty Group Canada, for $250 million. The deal gave Alliance Data two business enhancements, Canada's Air Miles Rewards Program and the company behind the Air Miles program, LoyaltyOne.

In 2001, Alliance Data went public.

In May 2007, The Blackstone Group, a private equity firm, announced plans to acquire Alliance Data. In April 2008, Alliance Data terminated the merger agreement with Blackstone Affiliates.

Ed Heffernan was promoted to president and CEO of Alliance Data in February 2009, after being with the company since 1998. In 2019 he resigned as CEO of Alliance Data and was replaced by Melisa Miller, who previously ran Alliance Data's Card Services division. This change in leadership effectively moved Alliance Data's Headquarters from Plano, Texas, to Columbus, Ohio. Melisa Miller held the role for about 6 months before being replaced by former CITI executive Ralph Andretta.

In 2019, Alliance Data opened its first international office in Bangalore, India.

In November 2021, Alliance Data completed the separation of its LoyaltyOne segment, consisting of the Canadian AIR MILES Reward Program and Netherlands-based BrandLoyalty businesses, into an independent, publicly traded company, Loyalty Ventures Inc. In March 2022, Alliance Data rebranded as Bread Financial.

On January 27, 2021, the U.S. Department of Justice entered a Deferred Prosecution Agreement with Epsilon Data Management, which set up a $127.5 million fund to compensate victims.

Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks Alliance Data names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Feb 13, 2026: 49 risks under these headings, as written.18

  • Risks related to the spinoff of our former LoyaltyOne segment include potential tax and other liabilities, existing or future litigation or other disputes, or other adverse impacts.
  • Macroeconomic, Global, Strategic, Business and Competitive Risks
  • Weakness and instability in the macroeconomic environment, as well as global political, public health and social events or conditions, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
  • The loans we make are unsecured, and we may not be able to ultimately collect from customers that default on their loans.
  • A significant percentage of our Total net interest and non-interest income, or revenue, is generated through our relationships with a limited number of partners, and a decrease in business from, or the loss of, any of these partners could cause a significant drop in our revenue.
  • Our business is heavily concentrated in U.S. consumer credit, and therefore our results are more susceptible to fluctuations in that market than a more diversified company.
  • We expect growth to result, in part, from new and acquired credit card and other loan programs whose performance could result in increased portfolio losses and negatively impact our profitability.
  • Our risk management policies and procedures may not be effective, and the models we rely on may not be accurate or may be misinterpreted.
  • Fraudulent activity associated with our products and services could negatively impact our operating results, brand and reputation and cause the use of our products and services to decrease and our fraud losses to increase.
  • The amount of our Allowance for credit losses could adversely affect our business and may prove to be insufficient to cover actual losses on our loans.
  • We may not be successful in realizing the benefits associated with our acquisitions, dispositions and strategic investments, and our business and reputation could be materially adversely affected.
  • Competition in our industry is intense, and the markets for the services that we offer may contract or fail to expand, each of which could negatively impact our growth and profitability.
The other 38 risks
  • Our results of operations and growth depend on our ability to retain existing partners and attract new partners.
  • Our results depend, to a significant extent, on the active and effective promotion and support of our products by our brand partners.
  • Our results are impacted, to a significant extent, by the financial performance of our partners.
  • We may not be successful in our efforts to promote usage of our DTC credit cards, or to effectively control the costs associated with such promotion, both of which may materially impact our profitability.
  • Reductions in interchange fees, or changes in the laws and regulations governing such fees, could have various adverse impacts on our business and results of operations.
  • We may not be able to retain and/or attract and hire a highly qualified workforce or maintain our corporate culture, and having a large segment of our workforce periodically working from home may exacerbate these risks and cause new risks.
  • Our operations and financial performance could be adversely affected by severe weather and natural disasters, as well as by climate change and ESG-related regulations and actions.
  • Damage to our reputation could damage our business.
  • Liquidity, Market and Credit Risks
  • Adverse financial market conditions or our inability to effectively manage our funding and liquidity risk could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity and ability to meet our debt service requirements and other obligations.
  • If we are unable to securitize our credit card loans due to changes in the market or other circumstances or events, we may not be able to fund new credit card loans, which would have a material adverse effect on our operations and profitability.
  • The occurrence of events that result in the early amortization of our existing credit card securitization transactions or an inability to delay the accumulation of principal collections for our existing credit card securitization transactions would materially adversely affect our liquidity.
  • Lower payment rates on our securitized credit card loans could materially adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition.
  • Inability to grow or maintain our deposit levels in the future could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, ability to grow our business and profitability.
  • Our level of indebtedness could materially adversely affect our ability to generate sufficient cash to repay our outstanding debt, and our ability to react to changes in our business and our incurrence of additional indebtedness to fund future needs could exacerbate these risks.
  • Restrictions imposed by the indenture governing our senior notes, our credit agreement and our other outstanding or future indebtedness may limit our ability to operate our business and to finance our future operations or capital needs or to engage in other business activities.
  • Any reduction in our credit ratings could increase the cost of our funding from, and restrict our access to, the capital markets and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
  • Changes in market interest rates could negatively affect our profitability.
  • Future sales of our common stock, or the perception that future sales could occur, may adversely affect our common stock price.
  • The market price and trading volume of our common stock may be volatile and our stock price could decline.
  • There is no guarantee that we will pay future dividends or repurchase shares of our stock at a level anticipated by stockholders, which could reduce returns to our stockholders. Decisions to declare future dividends on or repurchase our stock will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors based upon a review of relevant considerations and restrictions imposed by the terms of our outstanding preferred stock.
  • In preparing our financial statements we make certain assumptions, judgments and estimates that affect amounts reported in our audited Consolidated Financial Statements, which, if not accurate, may significantly impact our financial results.
  • Legal, Regulatory and Compliance Risks
  • Litigation and other actions and disputes could subject us to significant fines, penalties, judgments and/or requirements resulting in significantly increased expenses, damage to our reputation and/or a material adverse effect on our business.
  • Our Banks are subject to extensive federal and state regulation that may restrict their ability to make cash available to us and may require us to make capital contributions to them.
  • If legislative attempts to amend the BHC Act to eliminate the exclusion of credit card banks or industrial loan companies from the definition of “bank” are successful, or if we voluntarily take such action that results in the Parent Company becoming a federally-regulated BHC, we would become subject to additional regulation applicable to BHCs, which could increase our compliance and regulatory costs and have other effects that could be materially adverse to our business.
  • We may not realize the expected benefits of the pending merger of our subsidiary Banks.
  • Increases in FDIC insurance premiums may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
  • Noncompliance with the Bank Secrecy Act and other anti-money laundering statutes and regulations could cause us material financial loss.
  • Regulation in the areas of privacy, data protection, data governance, and cyber security could increase our costs and affect or limit our business opportunities and how we collect and/or use Personal Information, and any actual or perceived failure to comply with any of these new or existing laws could adversely affect our business, results of operations, or financial condition.
  • Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights and use of open source software may harm our competitive position, and litigation to protect our intellectual property rights or defend against third-party allegations of infringement may be costly, any of which could negatively impact our business, results of operations and profitability.
  • We have international operations that subject us to various international risks as well as increased compliance and regulatory risks and costs.
  • Tax legislation initiatives or challenges to our tax positions could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
  • Anti-takeover provisions in our organizational documents and Delaware law may discourage or prevent a change of control, even if an acquisition would be beneficial to our stockholders, which could affect our stock price adversely and prevent or delay change of control transactions or attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management.
  • Cybersecurity, Technology and Vendor Risks
  • We rely on third-party vendors to provide various products and services that are important to our operations, and our business could be adversely impacted if our vendors fail to fulfill their obligations.
  • If we, our third-party providers, or brand partners fail to safeguard our confidential information and/or experience a data security incident, there may be damage to our brand and reputation, material financial penalties and legal claims, which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
  • Business interruptions, including loss of data center capacity, interruption due to cyber-attacks, loss of network connectivity or inability to utilize proprietary software of third-party vendors, could affect our ability to timely meet the needs of our partners and customers and harm our business.
  • If we are not able to invest successfully in, and compete at the leading edge of, technological developments in our industry, our revenue and profitability could be materially adversely affected. Moreover, technology transformation projects are complex undertakings, which may result in unanticipated consequences that may adversely impact our business, results of operations, reputation and brand.
  • The development and use of AI present risks and challenges that may adversely impact our business or customers.
  • Risks Related to the LoyaltyOne Spinoff
  • We may be adversely affected by LVI’s ongoing bankruptcy proceedings or pending or future litigation or other disputes involving or relating to LVI.

  • Governance and Accountability
