The Company has three reportable business segments: domestic consumer finance,
commercial finance and international finance. The domestic consumer finance
segment includes the Company's U.S. consumer and credit card business units.
These business units have been aggregated into one reportable segment in the
discussion that follows due to their similar operating characteristics.


Domestic Consumer Finance Segment. The domestic consumer finance segment of the
Company offers a variety of consumer financing products and services to
customers throughout the United States (excluding Hawaii, which is included in
the international finance segment). Finance products and services offered by
this segment include home equity and personal loans, retail sales finance,
VISA(R)and MasterCard(R)bankcards and private label credit cards and emergency
roadside assistance and auto club services. The acquisition of SPS Transaction
Services, Inc., in October 1998 further enhanced the segment's consumer and
commercial private label credit card product offerings and expanded the
segment's product offerings to include point-of-sale network services,
call-center-based customer services and technical help-desk application
services. In addition, the Company, through certain subsidiaries and third
parties, makes available various credit-related and other insurance products to
its domestic consumer finance segment customers, including credit life, credit
accident and health, accidental death and dismemberment, involuntary
unemployment and personal property insurance.
