And...drumroll.. Starting this month of September, BNI, Indonesia's 4th largest bank, will start to issue AUSCI's very own Visa platinum card
This is the FIRST such credit card issued by an Indonesian Bank, BNI, for an alumni association of a US University! In other words, BNI chose, and believed, in the power of the USC network in Indonesia! Trojans, let's show our gratitude to BNI by signing up for this exclusive card!
As much as I am delighted about having the AUSCI BNI Visa card finally in existence, I am more excited about the BEST FEATURES of the card:
-
0.3% of every charge made with this Card, goes straight to our Cerdas Bang! "build-50-libraries-by-2015" program (www.ausci.org/cerdasbang). We, alumni of USC, has built 22 libraries in primary schools of Sidoarjo and Padang. This means we have another 28 libraries to build. With the AUSCI BNI Visa card, YOU can help to build libraries just by signing-up, and using this credit card (at NO extra cost to users)
-
NO Annual Fee for first year
- The card is OPEN to ALL (For Alumni, under cardholder's name will read "USC Alumni." For Friends, under cardholder's name will read "Friend of USC"). Please encourage your friends/spouse/associates to apply, and HELP BUILD LIBRARIES for children of Indonesia
- BNI's card is perhaps one of the fastest rising credit-cards in Indonesia, and this means, they have plenty of DISCOUNTS and DEALS waiting for YOU
- There will be specific discounts ONLY for the AUSCI-BNI Visa Card (work in progress). If you are a merchant and reading this, and would like to partner with AUSCI to bring the alumni and friends' community as customers, please CONTACT US.

There will be an Official Launching event for the AUSCI BNI Visa Card, which will coincide with a USC REUNION/Networking event:
