Both credit union and bank credit card issuers are under intense pressure from various sources, including competitor innovation, significant internal resource commitments, increasing operating expenses, uncertain regulatory and economic environments and a variety of capital and liquidity constraints. This has led to about 80% of all banks offering credit cards under an ‘agent issuing’ model, where a third-party issues credit cards under the financial institution’s name. While hundreds of credit unions do the same, and interest in this option has increased in the last two years, the majority of credit unions still own and manage this product themselves. Deciding whether this option can meet strategic, financial and member needs can be difficult to untangle. In this webinar, Understanding Credit Card Portfolio Sales & Agent Programs, you’ll delve into the structure of such programs, the financial and risk-profile impacts of such a decision, the contractual commitments required of both parties and discover evaluation tips and processes for any credit union that would like to evaluate this path.
Key Takeaways
- Discover the structure of the agent issuing concept and obligations of both parties
- Understand the financial impact of entering such a program to the balance sheet, income statement, and critical performance ratios
- Ascertain the impacts to members, including both positive and negative possibilities
- Review the accompanying contractual structures and key considerations
- Develop an evaluation process that best protects the credit union’s financial and other outcomes
