TAMPA, FL (March 8, 2013) – Card Services for Credit Unions (CSCU) is offering members the ability to capture data on every Visa credit and debit card transaction made with VisaVue® Online(VVO). The web-based tool offers a variety of options for analyzing credit and debit cardholder usage, providing valuable insight into members' spending trends and leading to more effective marketing strategies and increased profitability.
“VVO is a powerful portfolio management tool that allows a credit union to be more proficient and successful with their marketing campaigns. By using VVO, our credit unions can easily segment and target different cardholder behaviors with an appropriate marketing message that incents a change in behavior,” said Kristi Mackey, AVP of Client Services and Product, CSCU. “Ultimately, VVO helps a credit union be more effective in their efforts to drive increased usage, volume and interchange revenue.”
