Credit Union Times - February 22, 2012
CU Credit Card Programs are Poised to Shine
“A credit union can go to its members, particularly
those with a credit card issued by a large bank card
issuer, and confidently offer them a card which will
save them money, carry fewer fees and will come from
an issuer they can trust…They have always been able
to do that in the past, but now more CUs feel willing to
do it.”
