UWF Alumni Now Have an Offical Credit Card

Pen Air Federal Credit Union and the University of West Florida Alumni Association have teamed up to offer alumni an incredible card with an additional perk: Every time the card is used, it gives back to the Alumni Association, which in turn gives back to the UWF Alumni Association and Alumni Grant Program.

The UWF Visa credit card has the same low rates and competitive benefits that other Pen Air cards have:

• No annual fee

• Rates as low as 8.9 percent APR*

• CURewards

• 25-day grace period on new purchases

All existing Pen Air members are eligible to apply for the UWF Visa credit card. Non-members may apply for a Pen Air Visa credit card, but before the card can be issued, the borrower must join the Credit Union. All members of the UWF Alumni Association qualify for membership with Pen Air.

You may apply online for a Visa credit card when you visit www.penair.org/uwf, apply at a branch or call 850.505.3200.
