About
Discover is a US card network and card brand that has been owned by Capital One since it bought Discover Financial Services on 18 May 2025, a deal that also included the PULSE debit network and Diners Club International. Unlike Visa or Mastercard, the network's owner also issues Discover-branded cards itself. Capital One has been moving its own debit cards from Mastercard to the Discover network, a migration expected to finish in 2026. Outside the US, Discover cards are accepted through Diners Club and more than 30 alliance partners, including JCB, UnionPay, RuPay and Elo. As of 2026 the network cites acceptance in more than 185 countries and territories.
