ORONO, Maine–University Credit Union here, which serves the University of Maine System students, employees, alumni and their families, has introduced a University of Southern Maine Platinum Rewards VISA credit card that supports the University of Southern Maine Foundation.
Funds are generated for the USM Foundation with each card issued and through a sharing of the interchange income.
“The USM Foundation is thrilled to partner with UCU on this great product that lets our friends and over 52,000 alums show their Husky pride,” said Corey Hascall, Director of Alumni Engagement and Annual Giving at the University of Southern Maine in a statement. “It’s a win-win: cardholders get top-of-the-line benefits and the Foundation earns revenue that directly supports USM’s students and programs.”
UCU President and CEO Matthew Walsh added, “We realize that folks have choices when it comes to financial services, and we hope that by seeing how this card benefits the communities that we serve, in this case the University of Southern Maine, they will enjoy it even more so.”
