Business Credit Cards

FirstRewards customers maximize their spending using our card for all of their monthly expenses. Points add up quickly and never expire. When customers are ready to redeem, we want one of their choices to be you, their favorite neighborhood retailer.

FirstRewards means Local Rewards

Working with you as a local partner is a win-win. Our FirstRewards cardholders get the opportunity to choose local rewards at unique places in and around their hometown. By including you in our program, we can help drive more customers to your business! Your business is highlighted in FirstRewards which reaches cardholders residing throughout our lending area. This provides a new market avenue beyond your existing customer base, bringing new customers through your doors.

Is being a FirstRewards local partner right for your business? Here are some things you should consider:

• We can easily accommodate your $50, $100, and $250 gift cards or gift certificate programs you already have in place. Don’t have a program? We can help!
• There may be times when an experiential package or product offering works better for your type of business than gift cards. If that’s the case, just let us know. We can work with you on these unique opportunities.
• We will provide you a partner kit to help market the program in your business.
• We will pay you for the gift cards or inventory in advance.
• We may ask you to consider reduced prices on bulk orders.
• Once you tell us you are interested, we will refer you to our loyalty partner, BreakAway Loyalty. BreakAway works directly with you to determine the fulfillment process that will work. This may mean orders placed one at a time or bulk shipments.
• BreakAway won’t try to sell you anything, and they will not sell or share your information with anyone else.
• We will ask to place an image of your gift card on our website so customers know you are part of the program.
• We may approach you from time to time with ideas for additional joint marketing initiatives. You are in complete control of how and when you participate.
• If you ever decide the FirstRewards local partnership isn’t for you, simply let us know. Your decision will in no way impact your current and/or future banking relationship with us.

Chip, or EMV, technology makes an already secure card even safer. A chip credit card is a standard plastic debit or credit card that contains an embedded microchip as well as the traditional magnetic stripe.

Contactless cards provide EMV-grade security, convenience with check out speeds that are 10 times faster than other in-person payment methods and are touch-free.
