Hampton, NJ, July 24, 2007 – United Bank Card, Inc. (UBC) announced that it has launched a revolutionary charitable donations program. Dubbed “Pennies for Humanity”, this initiative gives UBC’s merchants the opportunity to contribute a percentage of every transaction to a charity of their choice. This program provides a simple and convenient method for businesses throughout the country to make tax-deductible donations.  

The Pennies for Humanity program allows merchants to contribute 1 cent, 2 cents or more from every transaction to one of the following organizations: The American Cancer Society, Make a Wish Foundation, National Federation of the Blind, or National Cancer Coalition. Merchants who participate in the program are provided with a window sticker and marketing collateral signifying their enrollment in the program. This marketing collateral will demonstrate the merchant’s support of its selected charity and indicate that a portion of every transaction will be donated to that organization.  

United Bank Card believes this program will be beneficial not only for the selected charities but also for UBC’s merchants and ISO Partners. UBC National Sales Manager, Jonathan Brandon, who is overseeing this project states,

 “United Bank Card is pleased to have an opportunity to support these organizations as well the community at large with our Pennies for Humanity program.   We also believe if merchants sign up with this program, they will motivate consumers and increase spending while simultaneously supporting the charitable causes with every transaction.  In addition to generating substantial charitable donations, we are also providing detailed monthly and annual reporting to recap the tax deductible donations for our merchants.”

 Based on UBC’s annual transaction volume and growth, The company projects its charitable contributions from this program to exceed one million dollars within the first year. In addition to its philanthropic efforts with the Pennies for Humanity program, United Bank Card also operates a charity poker tour, which takes place at every Regional Acquirers show and donates all proceeds to the Goodwill Rescue Mission for the Homeless and the Make a Wish Foundation.
