However, credit card providers overall ranked fourth among the nine industries surveyed. The report also found that American Express, Juniper Bank, U.S. Bank and Discover received "excellent" ratings in usefulness. American Express and Discover received "excellent" ratings for ease of use. When it comes to enjoyability, Forrester says none of the credit card providers distinguished themselves, but American Express, Wells Fargo and Juniper Bank were way above the rest. Five firms ended up with "very poor" ratings in enjoyability including: Bank of America, HSBC, Capital One, Chase, and Citibank. J.D.
