The most valuable customer for a business keeps coming back after the first interaction. Businesses with loyal customers grow their earnings 2.5 times faster than competitors do. To increase customer loyalty and, as a result, revenue, businesses have several options. Introducing a private label card program is one of them. A branded card, also known as a store card or a white-label card, entices customers to make purchases from your company. These cards frequently offer incentives that motivate customers to make more significant purchases, ensuring they remain loyal to your business. Learn more about these cards, particularly the advantages of using our GL-private label card.
What is a private label card, and how does it work?
Private label cards can be debit or prepaid cards that customers can use at a specific store or group of stores. Because they are exclusively valid for a particular retailer, they won't work elsewhere. These are closed-loop cards, which means only the merchant who issued them can accept them.
These programs collaborate with a third-party financial institution, such as GreenLink, to manage the card program for the business. These third-party partners handle various tasks, including issuing cards, funding credit, and collecting customer payments. The retailer and the financial institution together determine the credit criteria, but the financial institution alone does the underwriting.
Like other credit cards, private label credit cards may charge fees for late payments, interest if the client carries a balance, and offer a grace period if the holder has no outstanding balance and has paid their previous credit card bills promptly and in full. These cards also resemble other credit cards in that they are backed by the issuing financial institution and a payment processor despite displaying the payment network's logo. The processor facilitates the retailer's ability to offer private-label credit cards by producing cards compatible with the business's point-of-sale equipment and terminals.
