On June 10, 1997, Providian Financial spun off from
Providian Corporation and became an independent company.
Providian has been a top ten bankcard issuer in the U.S. since
1998. The Company currently has more than 4,000 employees and
more than 10 million customer accounts.
The Logo
Providian's logo is based on the idea that credit is a
two-way relationship. The point where the logo's two
intersecting lines meet represents the point where our
employees meet our customers' needs. We depend on our
customers to do their part by managing their accounts
responsibly, and we in turn do our part by providing the tools
and information they want, and the products and services that
meet their evolving needs.
Customers of Providian.com
Ours is a competitive industry, and we want to establish
long-term relationships with our customers. So we approach
lending as a service that must evolve, just as our customers'
needs do. Our primary goal is to provide a positive customer
experience over the course of the relationship — a mission
that all of our employees strive to achieve each day. In
addition, Providian is dedicated to educating consumers on how
to build and maintain good credit, allowing people to make
smarter financial decisions every day.
