Card Services for Credit Unions

In 1989, a group of 458 credit unions representing just over 1.3 million accounts united to form Card Services for Credit Unions®, a card-processing association dedicated to meeting credit unions' unique needs. Just like credit unions, Card Services for Credit Unions® is a not-for-profit cooperative. A board of directors consisting of nine credit union presidents/CEOs governs Card Services for Credit Unions®, and members set our future direction. Card Services for Credit Unions® is the nation's largest electronic-payments association exclusively serving credit unions. Card Services for Credit Unions® works in partnership with Visa and MasterCard to ensure credit unions' voices are heard. As a principal member of these associations, our sponsorship allows our member credit unions to participate at reduced rates. Our president serves on the board of directors of Visa USA, giving smaller financial institutions even better representation.
