Credit Union 24 Makes Payout
TALLAHASSEE, Fla.-Credit Union 24 will pay its network-participating credit unions more than $3-million in cash rewards from October 2003 through September 2004. The $3.1-million payout is a result of Credit Union 24's POS Platinum Rewards Program, which rewards credit unions for their overall relationship with CU24 and their POS transaction volumes in particular.
Rewards are paid based on the network participant's total monthly, Credit Union 24-approved POS transactions. The more combined ATM and POS transactions processed through the Network, the greater the reward. Meanwhile, Credit Union 24 said it has also entered into an agreement with transaction processor Lynk Systems, Inc., that will more than double CU24's national ATM presence.
The direct processing agreement signed today will allow CU24 member credit unions access to more than 65,000 ATMs across the country. The agreement will allow Atlanta-based Lynk access to the Credit Union 24 cardbase of more than 10-million cardholders at credit unions across the country.
