Dow Jones

By Dean Seal

Ally Financial has agreed to sell its credit-card business to a subsidiary of credit-card servicer CardWorks for an undisclosed amount.

The holding company for Ally Bank said Wednesday that CardWorks and its wholly-owned bank subsidiary Merrick Bank will take on the card business' portfolio of $2.3 billion in credit card receivables with 1.3 million active cardholders as of Dec. 31.

The decision to sell is part of Ally's bid to streamline its structure and prioritize core businesses, Chief Executive Michael Rhodes said.

CardWorks has been a servicing partner to Ally's platform since its inception, CEO Dan Pillemer said, calling the acquisition an exciting step in the expansion of his company's near-prime credit card business.

The deal is expected to close this year.

Shares of Ally rose 6.7% to $40.75 in premarket trading.
