Erskine Financial Services Launches New “Affinity Co-Brand” Credit Card Programs for Scouting Alumni, Eagle Scouts

Erskine Financial Services is proud to announce the introduction of the new Boy Scouts of America (BSA) no-fee credit card rewards program that will strengthen the relationships between the organization and its strongest supporters.

“Erskine Financial Services specializes in transforming sports, affinity and agent-bank credit cards into co-brand credit card programs, and we are proud that the Boy Scouts of America have built such strong relationships with Scouting alumni and Eagle Scouts,” said CEO Hal Erskine.

The Boy Scouts of America and Eagle Scout Visa Rewards programs are issued through Missouri-based Commerce Bank and offer cardholders rewards on every purchase. In addition, the Boy Scouts of America receives a percentage of all purchases. Additionally, cardholders can donate their rewards to the BSA, as well as visit a Scout Rewards section site where a selection of BSA products is available for purchase with their points.

“Joining the Scouting family has been a point of pride for millions, and this program enables our Scouting alumni and Eagle Scouts to proudly celebrate their Scouting memories while also giving back to the organization and programs,” said Brad Farmer, Assistant Chief Scout Executive leading the Office of Development for the Boy Scouts of America. “The fact that this opportunity was developed with the support of an Eagle Scout who deeply understands this timeless connection makes this introduction even more special.”

Erskine said, “As someone who became an Eagle Scout in 1977 with Troop 162 of St. Mark’s Lutheran Church in Mooresville, NC, I am particularly proud to be able to share that relationship when I present my Eagle Scout Visa Rewards card at home and when I travel. Not only do I know my card usage is benefiting Scouting programs, but I’ve already met people who look at the card and tell me they also were Scouts.”

 “We’re excited to work with the Boy Scouts of America to offer a customized credit card product that offers such valuable and meaningful rewards and incentives,” said Chad Doza, Senior Vice President of Commerce Bank.  “The Boy Scouts of America is an impressive organization with an empowering mission.  Commerce Bank is proud to partner with such a notable organization and offer a card that will allow members to show their support while enjoying the many benefits that come with a Commerce Bank credit card.”

The card will be available through the Commerce Bank website at https://www.commercebank.com/BSA or https://www.commercebank.com/EagleScout.  The Boy Scouts of America and Eagle Scout credit cards are accepted anywhere Visa® is accepted.
