Athens State University has teamed up with Bank Independent to introduce a new Affinity Card program, aimed at offering debit and credit cards that benefit both users and the university.

With every new card opened, Bank Independent will contribute $25 to the university, providing ongoing financial support for various initiatives. To mark the launch of this program, Bank Independent has made an initial $10,000 donation to the Athens State University Foundation.

“Bank Independent’s mission is to support the communities we serve, and this program with Athens State University reflects our continued commitment,” said Macke Mauldin, President of Bank Independent. “The Athens State University Affinity Card represents more than just financial convenience; it’s a way we all can contribute to the growth and success of Athens State and its students.”

Dr. Keith Ferguson, Vice President for Advancement at Athens State University, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the card’s significance.

“The Bank Independent and Athens State University Affinity Card will proudly showcase both brands. It’s a card that reflects the support and values of our students, alumni, and friends of Athens State University,” Dr. Ferguson stated.
