ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.–After introducing its cashback METAL Credit Card in 2022, U.S. Eagle Credit Union has announced a partnership with the Veterans Integration Centers (VIC) and Paws and Stripes to support the ongoing needs of disabled veterans in the state of New Mexico.
The card provides unlimited cashback, credited directly to the member's account while also helping disabled veterans in their community through the “Mettle” donation effort. U.S. Eagle said.
Members will continue to receive cashback each time they use this their METAL card. The donation is fully funded by U.S. Eagle per purchase with proceeds directly benefitting VIC and Paws and Stripes.
"This is a way we are able to give back to our local veterans here in New Mexico. We are honored to work with the Veterans Integration Centers and Paws and Stripes to assist both of their missions supporting those who have served our country," said President and CEO Marsha Majors.
"People have a choice of cards to use when they're doing their everyday purchases. If they use the METAL™ card, they'll be helping veterans," said Brock Wolf, CEO of the Veterans Integration Centers.
"Most Americans really want to support our veterans but in the state of New Mexico specifically, we have so many. One in eight households has a veteran living in it," explained Lindsey Kay, Founder and Executive Director of Paws and Stripes. "It's not just about helping our veterans; it's about how we're helping those that are all a part of our community and thus we're helping our whole community."
