Phoenix, Ariz. – (Aug. 15, 2005) - All Arizona Federal members who currently have a credit card with the institution will be receiving a surprise in the mail this month as the credit union rolls out its new Platinum Card and reap additional rewards from the move. Arizona Federal is the state’s second largest credit union.

Throughout August, Arizona Federal is reissuing all of its classic and Gold cards as Platinum cards and has implemented the ScoreCard™ Rewards program through Certegy.

“We cater to the middle-market customer and we realize that many of our members may be first time card holders. We want to give them the best service we can by giving them the opportunity to have a Platinum card, but we also want to give them the skills they need to be sensible with their purchases,” said Schoeberl.
