DALLAS - Some people celebrated the new millennium with a party. TNB, a full service card processing provider owned and directed by credit unions, commemorated the century turnover by redesigning the credit and debit cards it offers credit unions. The four new card designs are manufactured by Oberthur Card Systems Inc., formerly De La Rue Card Systems and one of the leading producers of credit cards in the U.S. The newly designed cards can be customized with the participating credit union's name and logo and printed in a wide selection of colors. The card design options include a blue block design for MasterCardT standard and VisaT classic; gold block design for Gold MasterCardT and VisaT gold; platinum block design for platinum MasterCardT; and a green "money" design for MasterMoneyT and VisaT checkcard. In addition to the new designs, credit unions still have the option of creating their own customized card, as well as have access to TNB's group of eight standard card designs. TNB provides plastic cards to about 400 credit unions. Participating CUs are not required to purchase their inventory. Instead, TNB maintains inventory levels so credit unions can issue cards as needed for members. -
