ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The $180 million Continental Federal Credit Union, headquartered in El Segundo, Calif., has moved its 15,000-card debit portfolio to PSCU Financial Services. PSCU Financial Services is the payment processing CUSO that serves over 500 credit unions who use the First Data Corp. card platform.

As part of the conversion, the credit union eliminated its ATM-only access card and consolidated all services onto one plastic. Members can now use the debit card to access all of the credit union's checking account products. In the few weeks since the conversion, the credit union has already seen increased usage of the new card.

“We have been extremely impressed with the project management and training from PSCU Financial Services that enabled such a smooth transition,” said Tom Glatt, CEO of Continental. “At the same time, I would like to compliment our staff on their excellent teamwork in working with each other and with the cooperative's staff to ensure that all the necessary tasks were handled promptly and efficiently.”
