In the past five years, MBNA's new account totals have set the pace in the global credit card industry and represent nearly one-third of the industry's growth since 1997. Today in Europe, MBNA have more than £9.5 billion in outstanding loans, and much of their growth has been generated through their marketing expertise rather than through merger or acquisition.

These include a variety of travel services and insurance products; and a variety of fixed-payment, fixed-term loan products with customised payment options.
