  • Screen the industry to identify the top two card issuer candidates for the program
  • Support the contract negotiation process and secure a new card issuer agreement with competitive terms

  • The new card program was re-launched 90 days later
  • Both our client and the selected card issuer were extremely pleased with the streamlined relationship process and economic outcome
