Alumni Credit Card Program

What is the UW-River Falls Credit Card Program?

In 1998, WESTconsin Credit Union (WCU) and the Office of University Advancement joined efforts to create a credit card program that could be used by alumni, friends of UWRF, students, faculty and staff. The program offers the following card options: VISA and Platinum VISA, both which earn CU Rewards.

Each time cardholders use their cards, WCU returns a percentage of each purchase to the UW-River Falls Foundation. These dollars are then deposited into the UW-RF Community Scholarship Fund. To date, the fund totals over $38,000. As we increase the number of cardholders using the card and grow the scholarship fund, we intend to create additional scholarships that can be awarded to other deserving students attending UW-River Falls. We encourage you to get your card today!

Why choose the UW-River Falls Credit Card?

• Students at UW-River Falls benefit each time you use your card.
• The cards are attractive and provide a remembrance of the UW-River Falls. The front of the card contains a photo of South Hall.
• Low interest rate and no hidden fees or misleading teaser rates.
• Earn points with every purchase towards merchandise and travel rewards.
• Don't want another credit card? Switch to a better one! We can transfer your other credit card balances to a UW-RF affinity card.
• Each new VISA card issued adds $1 into the fund, each Platinum VISA card adds $5 into the fund.
