NAR’s Official, New REALTOR® Credit Card
I’m pleased to inform you that applications are now available for the new REALTOR® Credit Card, the official credit card of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®. This unique card program was created through a partnership between NAR and REALTORS® Federal Credit Union, a Division of Northwest Federal Credit Union, to offer a new choice for credit for REALTORS®, Association staff and family members. The card will be offered through NAR’s REALTOR Benefits® Program.
Available to existing and new Credit Union members, this card program includes customized real estate-themed designs, exclusive REALTOR® branding options and important features such as no annual fee, no balance transfer or cash advance fees, a comprehensive rewards program, and competitive interest rates that you have come to expect from your Credit Union.
Individuals are encouraged to apply for two cards with separate designs for each to track personal purchases and business expenses. State & Local REALTOR® Associations, Brokers, MLSs, and Business Account Holders have the option to apply for a business credit card that is not connected to a personal account or individual.
The REALTOR® Credit Card offers a selection of designs that represent members, both as real estate practitioners and advocates for homeownership, including options that appeal to both residential and commercial practitioners, association executives and management, as well as family members. This card program also offers the option to select a message to be imprinted beneath the cardholder’s name (such as “REALTOR”, “Commercial RE”, “Association Executive”, and “Home Ownership Matters”).
More details about this exciting new offering are listed below and in the attached PDF. If you’re ready to apply for business and personal credit, visit REALTORSfcu.org/REALTORCreditCard.
Should you have any questions about the REALTOR® Credit Card program or NAR’s REALTOR Benefits® Program, please contact me (x8269) or a member of NAR’s REALTOR Benefits® Team listed below.
Sincerely,
