Private Label Card Programs

In general, private label card programs are beneficial to large companies, associations, or organizations because they provide an alternate source of income, while at the same time increasing brand awareness and building stronger relationships with customers or members. Since this type of program requires its own Bank Identification Number (BIN), it allows the organization or group more control over the program and more opportunities for customization. Moreover, because the cards can feature custom designs and logos, they function as an additional promotional tool.

This type of program requires market research, needs analysis, a detailed program outline, and a strategy for deployment. Our team will assist with every aspect of the program including, finding a card issuer and a processor, developing a marketing plan, conducting cost analysis, and supporting roll-out. Our goal is to ensure that when opting for a customized program, your needs are fulfilled, your goals are achieved, and the program is successful.
