Member Access Processing said on July 23, 2020 that Mirror Review had included it among its ten leading payment and card solution providers for the year. The company’s announcement was distributed through PR Newswire on July 27. [S01] [S02]

Recognition for a credit-union processing business

The July magazine feature covered Member Access Processing’s history as a card-processing partner to credit unions. At the time, the company described a service range built around Visa DPS, including debit, credit, ATM, mobile, prepaid-reloadable and gift solutions. [S01]

Cyndie Martini, identified in the announcement as president and CEO, acknowledged the recognition on behalf of client and owner credit unions, staff and partners. The selection was a magazine recognition. The announcement did not present a regulatory certification or a comparative measure of processing performance. [S01]

Where the gift-card connection sits

Gift solutions were one component of a wider payments offering. That makes the announcement relevant to the infrastructure used by credit unions, while leaving the terms of individual card programmes outside its scope.

For institutions choosing a processor, a publication’s profile can provide background about a supplier. Questions about operational service levels, implementation responsibilities and the recipient’s experience still require direct programme evidence. The 2020 recognition did not disclose a new product launch or quantify customer adoption.
