What we offer

Whether you're looking to improve your program's performance, want to add a scalable, low-risk solution, or simply evaluating outsourced portfolio management versus in-house issuing models, we're here to help.

How we support our partners

We work directly with your financial institution to provide scalable support, expert guidance, and ongoing product and technology development, ensuring programs stay competitive and aligned with market conditions. At the same time, centralized resources, reporting, and partner tools in the Client Resource Center provide greater visibility and control.

How we support cardmembers

Our digital-forward program starts with text-to-apply capabilities through real-time reward redemption for a seamless user experience in our highly rated moble app. Through an Elan partnership, cardmembers also gain access to payment solutions like Paze℠ and our installment lending feature, ExtendPay.

Our product lineup

We offer a broad credit card product suite that enables financial institutions to meet diverse needs from building credit to driving spend through rewards and cash-back. Each credit card features your financial institution's branding, ensuring every interaction strengthens cardmember relationships and reinforces your brand.

"Our relationship with Elan is like having 20 additional staff members because they can provide the support that we need to offer a successful credit card program to our [card]members."

— Susan Gleason, VP of Marketing, Heartland Credit Union
