Webinar: Examining Credit Card Profitability - Understanding the Key Driver, Calculations, and Data Sources
Washington, DC (PRWEB) April 27, 2015 -- Callahan & Associates, in partnership with TRK Advisors Inc., will take on the key question of “How profitable is my credit card program?” in the upcoming Credit Card Management School (CCMS) webinar on Thursday, April 30, 2 p.m. ET, sponsored by CO-OP Financial Services.
As a follow-up to the January 2015 CCMS market review webinar, credit card industry expert Tim Kolk will explore with students the key drivers behind the profitability of individual credit card portfolio segments and the different ways credit unions can profit from them. “Understanding card program profitability is critical to running a successful program. Understanding performance builds internal support, highlights where members are being well served, and allows the credit union to determine how much it can give back to the members in product value (i.e. rate, rewards, fees, benefits),” said Tim Kolk. “The most successful and competitive credit unions always know their program’s profitability and how it is changing as the world around them changes.”
Callahan & Associates has worked for thirty years to provide insight to credit unions through programs like the Credit Card Management School, which enable credit unions to understand, evaluate and ultimately improve financial performance.
The live webinar event will be recorded and available for registrants to view on-demand throughout the year. For more information or to register for the 2015 Credit Card Management School, visit http://callahan.com/ccms.
