DES MOINES, Iowa — Credit unions eager to give their members gift card opportunities as the 2007 December holidays draw closer have signed up with the The Members Group for its ATIRAgift card, the CUSO has announced.

The credit unions include: 1st Community CU (Sparta, Wis.); Beacon Credit Union (Wabash, Ind.); First Financial CU (Albuquerque, N.M.); Quaker Oats CU (Cedar Rapids, Iowa); Topeka City Employees CU (Topeka, Kan.); and, Tradesmen Community CU (Des Moines, Iowa).

During the past few months other credit unions such as Capitol View (Des Moines, Iowa); Catholic CU (Yakima, Wash.); Financial Plus CU (Des Moines, Iowa); Fort Dodge Family CU (Fort Dodge, Iowa); and, Mid-Minnesota FCU (Brainerd, Minn.) have also chosen ATIRAgift for its innovation and flexibility, the CUSO said.

“As we get ready for our third holiday season offering ATIRAgift cards, we continue to see gift cards, and really the entire family of prepaid products, as a great addition to any credit union,” said Jeff Falk, director of product development for TMG.
