Warren Buffett-backed U.S. consumer bank Capital One plans to buy U.S. credit card issuer Discover Financial Services for $35.3 billion to create a global payments giant.The deal, which is expected to receive intense antitrust scrutiny, would form the sixth-largest U.S. bank by assets and a U.S. credit card behemoth that would compete with rivals JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup.While Discover has a network that spans 200 countries and territories, it is still much smaller than rivals Visa, Mastercard and American Express.
