Howard Kessler had a simple yet powerful vision: to link general purpose credit cards to membership organizations. The result: the affinity credit card. This vision not only created new profit centers for financial institutions, it transformed an industry. Now credit cards can reflect the personality and preference of their owners, a distinct mark of individual passion. This same passion fuels our business.
