This decision to pilot the Everlink ICI solution makes First West Credit Union the first BC credit union with the capability of issuing fully personalized contact and contactless debit cards instantly, in-branch.

"We are thrilled that First West Credit Union has chosen to implement the Everlink ICI solution," says Mark Ripplinger, President & CEO at Everlink. "First West Credit Union's new and existing members will soon benefit from a service that no other financial institution in BC currently offers - the ability to have a member walk into a branch and be issued a new (for new members) or a replacement (for existing members who have a lost or damaged card), fully functional, fully personalized contact or contactless debit card in minutes, without waiting for one to arrive in the mail."

"The First West team is committed to keeping banking simple for our members," says Darrell Jaggers, Chief Information Officer at First West Credit Union. "We're always looking for ways to bring innovative technology into our line-up of products and services so that we can enable our members to bank with us in new and exciting ways. We know our members lead busy lives so we're thrilled to be able to provide them with a product that allows them to pay for their items with the tap of their card, making everyday purchases a quick, secure and simple process."

Everlink's ICI solution features a choice of high-definition financial card printers that instantly produce
a fully functional and personalized card with customizable images and graphics within minutes of a member/customer signup at the branch. ICI enhances the overall member/customer experience by supporting the immediate issuance of new cards, or the replacement of damaged, lost or stolen cards for existing members/customers at the branch level.
