Pancreatic Cancer Action Network Launches Platinum Visa Credit Card to Raise Awareness for the Fourth Leading Cause of Cancer Death in the United States

EL SEGUNDO, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
People fighting pancreatic cancer, and the people who support
them, have a new weapon--and it fits in their wallets.

The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network today announced that it has
joined forces with CardPartner, Inc. to offer the Pancreatic Cancer
Action Network Platinum Visa(R) credit card.

The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network receives $50 for every card
activated, plus a percentage of every dollar charged to each card.
Funds earned through the card will help support the comprehensive
programs of the organization to advance research, support patients and
create hope for those affected by pancreatic cancer.

"Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in
the United States; yet is the most under-funded among leading cancer
killers. By using the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network Platinum Visa
credit card for everyday purchases, our constituents can help raise
awareness and much needed funds for pancreatic cancer research," says
Pancreatic Cancer Action Network President and CEO, Julie Fleshman.

For cardholders, the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network Platinum
Visa(R) credit card credit card is highly competitive:

-- No annual fee

-- 0% APR on purchases and balance transfers for the first six
months (thereafter the APR will vary based upon the Prime Rate
plus 5.90%. As of June 1, 2008, the APR for both purchase and
balance transfers is 11.15%. Balance transfer offer limited to
balance transfer requests submitted with application, from an
issuer other than UMB Bank, n.a. or its affiliates)

-- Purchase protection

-- Zero liability protection for unauthorized purchases

"Pancreatic Cancer Action Network is proud to empower supporters

is, or has ever been touched by pancreatic cancer can make a
difference with the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network Platinum Visa(R)
Card," Fleshman adds.

Adam Elgar, President of CardPartner, Inc., says, "Every 14
minutes, someone in the United States is diagnosed with pancreatic
cancer. Just think how we could raise awareness of this disease if
every 14 minutes or more someone in the United States were to use
their Pancreatic Cancer Action Network Visa credit card!" Elgar says
