EDWARDSVILLE, IL (January 26, 2021) What if every time you swiped your debit card, a portion of your purchase was used to make your community a better place? That’s the concept behind Scott Credit Union’s Epic and Blues checking accounts. Thanks to members of SCU, nearly $85,000 was recently donated to the Scott Credit Union Foundation, which supports local education and non-profit organizations. The money was donated at no cost to members every time they used their debit card in 2020.
“It’s simple for members who have an Epic Checking or Blues Checking to support their community,” said SCU Chief Marketing Officer Adam Koishor. “For every purchase they make with their debit card, we donate a percentage to the Foundation. This is our second year with the program, and we are proud of the impact it’s made already.”
