Bank of America offers HSUS checking and credit cards
June 26, 2009
Internet communities of farmers and ranchers are buzzing with news the Bank
of America is partnering with the Humane Society of the United States
(HSUS). The bank’s MyExpression program is offering an HSUS checking account
and associated Visa check card as well as an HSUS Visa credit card. Both of
these products financially support HSUS.
According to the Bank of America Web site, it will donate 25 cents to the
animal rights organization for every $100 in purchases made with the HSUS
WorldPoints Platinum Plus Visa credit card. Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO
of HSUS, is quoted as saying “This is a great way to support the work of The
Humane Society of the United States . When you open your account, and each
time you make an eligible purchase with your Bank of America VISA check
card, you'll support our mission to combat animal cruelty and care for
animals in need.”
CattleNetwork yesterday issued a template letter for livestock producers to
submit to Bank of America expressing their concerns about providing
financial support to HSUS. Trained beef industry spokespeople alerted one
another to the news via the Masters of Beef Advocacy program alumni site
yesterday. Several reported sending letters to local Bank of America
branches.
A Bank of America senior vice president in Amarillo , Texas , issued a
letter to the cattle industry today. CattleNetwork posted and circulated the
letter, which references the importance of the industry to Bank of America
and says “the matter has been elevated and is being looking into so that we
can further address your concerns.”
Concerned producers should contact Bank of America using the template letter
or materials about HSUS from the Center for Consumer Freedom. Bank of
America can be contacted by mail (Bank of America Corporate Center, 100
North Tryon Street , Charlotte , NC 28255 ) or e-mail (Nicole Nastacie, BOA
Corporate Philanthropy – nicole.nastacie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx). Comments also
can be posted to the bank’s blog (http://futurebanking.bankofamerica.com/),
shared with the official Bank of America representative on Twitter
(http://twitter.com/BofA_help) or posted to the bank’s Facebook page
