TUCSON, Ariz.–Hughes Federal Credit Union and local artist Diana Madaras have partnered on a specially designed debit card available exclusively to Hughes members.
Hughes FCU said it commissioned the work titled “Hughes Finger Rock,” featuring the landmark of the Santa Catalina Mountains in Madaras' distinctively bold and colorful style.
“As an organization that’s locally owned and operated by its members, we wanted to add a debit card design that celebrates Southern Arizona’s natural beauty, as well as our own 65th anniversary,” said Robert J. Swick, president/general manager. “The Madaras card and two other designs have been added to Hughes’ already popular University of Arizona-themed designs, which were chosen as the Arizona Daily Star Readers’ Choice Best Debit Card for the past two years.”
Other new designs feature an Arizona sunset and the Hughes “shooting star” logo.
“In addition to being voted Tucson’s Best Artist seven times, Madaras has supported many local charities, as does Hughes,” added Swick.
Use of the Madaras card entitles users to a 10% discount on merchandise with Diana Madaras images at the Madaras Gallery.
The new debit cards are offered free to Hughes members with a free, interest-earning checking account.
