Celebrating Our 50th Anniversary by Giving Back
OCTOBER 2018 | 2018 marks Elan's 50th year in the credit card agent business. To celebrate this anniversary, Elan is making a series of $10,000 charitable donations on behalf of 10 of our partners. All of our partners, whether a bank or a credit union, focus on servicing their immediate communities. We could not think of a better way to illustrate Elan’s commitment to our partners who have driven our success over the past 50 years than by helping them support the causes that they care about.
