University of Iowa

"Iowa depends on its card program income to fund a significant portion of its alumni program. As the credit card marketplace started to change rapidly, however, we became concerned about keeping a strong revenue flow from our program. Partner Advisors is not only helping us navigate this continually evolving credit card landscape, they are also working with us to make our income more secure over the long term. Their focus on continually adding value to the product, the marketing and the banking relationship has changed the way we look at our program. We strongly recommend that alumni associations and other bankcard partners have a look at what they can do."
