EL PASO, Texas–Raiz Federal Credit Union has begun issuing a debit card in conjunction with the El Paso Zoo Society.
According to Raiz FCU, the El Paso Zoo Society Debit Card is the first of its kind in the program to provide support for animal welfare. With every non-PIN transaction made using the El Paso Zoo Society Debit Card, Raiz FCU donates $0.05 to the El Paso Zoo Society, a vital partner to the El Paso Zoo. In addition, for the first three years, Raiz has committed to match these donations for a total of $0.10 per transaction.
Funds raised will help to provide support for community advocacy, wildlife conservation, educational programs, and the essential needs of the zoo and its wildlife residents, the credit union said.
‘Power of Community’
"We strongly believe in the power of community and are thrilled to partner with the El Paso Zoo Society to make a positive impact with our members for local wildlife," said Alejandro Yu, VP of Marketing.
In addition, El Paso Zoo Society Debit Cardholders will receive a 5% discount on their purchase of an Annual Zoo Membership.
