Live Webinar: September 16 | 2 PM ET
In this webinar, we’ll break down how the agent issuing model works and why it has been successful as a strategic, resource-efficient alternative to traditional in-house issuing across the industry. You’ll gain a clear understanding of how credit unions can ensure they offer the types of card products today’s consumers most value, while also reducing operational burdens, better utilizing capital and balance sheet assets, and eliminating a variety of risks.
Whether you're actively evaluating options or simply exploring future possibilities, join us for an informative webinar on how agent programs can help your credit union grow sustainably without overextending your team or balance sheet. A live Q&A will follow the presentation.
What you’ll learn:
- Model differentiators: Learn how agent credit card programs differ from traditional in-house issuing, and how that impacts investment and other resource burdens.
- Financial flexibility: See how agent programs can continue to provide long-term revenues from the card program in a lower-risk model.
- Operational opportunity: Discover how the agent model can ease compliance, servicing, product development, marketing and system investment demands.
- Balance sheet benefits: Explore how off-balance-sheet structures can free up capital, eliminate interest rate and credit risks, and improve financial flexibility.
