Card Briefs: First Data to Process Spiegel Unit's Cards

First Consumers National Bank has turned its card processing over to First Data Resources Inc., a unit of First Data Corp.

First Consumers, owned by Spiegel Inc. and based in Beaverton, Ore., issues bank cards and private-label cards for the likes of Spiegel's catalogue and Eddie Bauer.

First Consumers had done its own processing of retail accounts and relied on Total System Services Inc. for other processing.

"We chose First Data because of the commitment of their people, the innovative technology solutions they offer, and their overall vision for the future," said Gregory R. Aube, president of First Consumers.
