New Consumer Site Provides Registry of Fair Practice Credit Union Cards

LAKE BLUFF, Ill., Nov. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Credit Unions are invited to become
part of a nationwide movement against unfair bank-card practices by
registering credit unions and their card programs for free on a new consumer
website. We are facilitating the registry as an independent advocacy effort
dedicated to pointing consumers to credit unions. Additionally, the site will
offer a ranking system to identify credit unions with the best card programs
as assessed by Card Analysis Solutions. This is a great opportunity for credit
unions to gain exposure and connect with consumers. In order to qualify for
the registry, credit unions must fill out an online registration form. All
credit unions are eligible to be listed on this registry regardless if the
rates are fixed or variable. There is no fee to the credit union to be listed
on this registry.

The consumer site, which goes live on December 1, 2009, will provide visitors
with an easy method to locate credit union card programs that have been
approved through the registry effort.

Ondine Irving, founder of Card Analysis Solutions, is the driving force in
qualifying the credit unions and taking the guess work out for consumers
seeking fair credit cards. Her thought leadership and advocacy has resulted
in national attention from finance guru, Suze Orman, with a feature on her
popular website which generates approximately 500,000 hits a month.

"There is intense interest from consumers in finding credit cards and
providers that don't charge ridiculous charges and rates. I'm committed to
connecting qualified credit union card programs with consumers -- and help
take the sting out of the current credit climate we're all experiencing,"
Irving states.
