Cardinal Credit Union extends partnership with Lakeland

Sep. 19—Cardinal Credit Union is extending its partnership with Lakeland Community College to provide students, staff and alumni with a tailored school-branded Rewards Visa Credit Card.

According to a news release, the card is designed to enhance financial well-being while supporting the Lakeland Foundation, a nonprofit organization established as the fundraising entity for Lakeland Community College.

According to the release, the Lakeland Affinity Visa card offers many features, including no annual fee, no balance transfer fees, and 1.5 percent cash back on all purchases with no limits.

Notably, 1 percent cashback will directly be awarded to the cardholder and 0.5 percent will accrue to the Lakeland Foundation to fund opportunities, relationships and other resources for student success and to enrich the quality of life for the community.

As a Lakeland Rewards VISA cardholder, members also gain exclusive access to Cardinal Credit Union's bonus campaigns, elevating members' online and in-person banking experiences throughout the year, according to the release.

Cardinal Credit Union provides financial education throughout the community with an integrated financial education program at Lakeland Community College and six area high schools, where Cardinal operates several in-school branches.

Students have a chance to learn more about positive money management through a hands-on approach.

"Cardinal Credit Union takes great pride in crafting tailored solutions that truly enrich our community," CEO Christine Blake said. "Our collaboration with Lakeland Community College underscores this commitment.

"Through the Lakeland Affinity card, our valued cardholders can enjoy customized bonus reward campaigns, unlocking added value with Lakeland and its partners, including the campus bookstore and additional select merchants."
