Payments/Credit/Debit

Card Analysis Solutions, an independent credit card consultancy dedicated to helping CUs get the most out of their card programs, has announced another school for CU credit card executives.

Citing what it calls the explosive growth of prepaid debit cards, the Illinois Credit Union League announced Thursday it is rolling out for client CUs a new "family card" designed for teens as a money management tool.

Expect a lively debate to open up the New Year on CU Times ON AIR with the Interchange Exchange.

Lawmakers should keep credit unions' tax exemption, ensure that the regulatory overhaul doesn't overburden credit unions and ensure access to a secondary mortgage market.

Equidata Inc. of Newport News, Va., said it is now offering the RateMatch loan evaluation service from New York CUSO Syphr LLC as part of its private-label online credit retrieval, monitoring and resolution services.

Saying the Fed's proposed interchange rule could have "tragic consequences" for credit unions, their members and any debit card user, CUNA President/CEO Bill Cheney today asked the House Financial Services Committee to hold hearings.
