In U.S. Consumer Cards , we had solid momentum in General Purpose cards , which drove loan growth and a return that exceeded 21 % . " We returned over $ 4 billion to common shareholders while continuing to invest in growth and prepare for an Al- driven future . We expect to exceed this year's return target , even as we pull forward investments toward our 11-13 % near - term goal- the next waypoints on our path to sustainable returns of 14-15 % , " Ms. Fraser concluded . 1
