CSEA launches new CSEA VISA®
Credit Card benefit
SEA has teamed up with CAP COM Federal Credit
Union to provide CSEA members and their family members exclusive access to a CSEA-branded Visa credit card with a low, fixed-rate. This new program was approved by our union’s Board of Directors in July and launched on October 1. To apply, visit www.capcomfcu.org/CSEA or call (844) 622-CSEA.
The program provides three CSEA Visa credit
cards — a Platinum, Classic, and Classic Secured. The Platinum provides a low, fixed rate of 8.90% APR (Annual Percentage Rate) and the Classic provides a fixed rate of 12.90% APR. Those rates are among the lowest anywhere on the market.
“I’m happy our union can provide this benefit for CSEA members,” said CSEA President Mary E. Sullivan. “Getting a lower rate that is fixed and not variable will help save members money. I’m looking forward to using my CSEA Visa card when I shop locally to send a message to local businesses that CSEA members not only work hard for their money, they spend it right here in our communities.”
“The hard work of CSEA members benefits each and every New York resident,” said Chris McKenna, CAP COM President/CEO. “Partnering with CSEA to design a premier card that recognizes and rewards CSEA members is a real privilege.”
The CSEA Visa has no annual fee, no balance transfer fee, and no cash advance fee.
Cardholders can get discounts offered by CAP COM and Visa, like car rental collision damage waiver coverage. It offers 24/7 fraud protection and the ability to set custom email or text alerts.
Cardholders can also make contactless payments after loading the CSEA Visa credit card into the wallet on their mobile phone.
CSEA and CAP COM are thrilled to present this CSEA members-only benefit.
