Increase revenue and rebuild relationships.

The numbers speak for themselves. FastTrack™ has an average activation rate of 50% with 40% of those cards still active one year later.

By improving your credit union's ability to activate non-activated and dormant credit and debit cards, FastTrack helps you increase revenue and rebuild relationships. It's a compelling, incentive-based activation and retention program that pays for itself through interchange and fee revenue generated from transactions initiated by the program. Most important, FastTrack costs far less than the cost of replacing a lost relationship and account.

  • Attractive rewards and professional, compelling mailings combine to motivate consumer behavior.
  • Selected cardholders can qualify for one of three reward levels based on signature transaction activity during the program.
  • You pay only for the cards we activate; there is no cost for the mailing if the cardholder does not activate and use the card during the program.

As cardholders use your credit or debit card to purchase their entire travel fare, this enhancement provides them with up to $1 million of protection that automatically covers any common carrier accident anywhere in the world. It's worthwhile to everyone who travels, whether they are frequent-flyer business professionals or occasional leisure travelers.
