Who {names of persons or countries} that actually own the top major credit card companies?

Question

Which ones are owned by Arab countries?

Answer 1

I am not sure about a country owning a credit card company.
There are really no major mono-line card companies, ie the largest card issuers are part of large banks with diverisfied product lines.
A wealthy Saudi is large shareholder of Citi. I am sure there are other weathly individuals in the Middle East who are large shareholders of US Banks. They would also own, oil stocks, tech companies, transportation, etc.

Answer 2

Most credit card companies are publicly owned/traded. They are not "owned" by countries. At least this is the case with US based credit card companies.

For example Bank of America is a public company - it is traded on the New York Stock Exchange.
