2013 – 2014 Contract Year 1,909 Credit Unions 81% (1,541) are currently considered Active 19% (368) are currently considered Inactive 27 Contract Year = October 1 of each year through September 30 of the following year. ACH Sprint Marketing Incentive Payments Nearly all league/LSC payments are made via ACH. If your organization is not yet signed up to receive the Sprint marketing incentive via ACH, please contact Lisa Treat. Moving toward credit union ACH payments. Begin with credit unions with largest check amounts.
28 Credit Union Minimum Marketing Requirements Promote Sprint service exclusively Include a quarterly statement insert at least once per Contract Year Continuously display Sprint lobby materials Publish approved newsletter articles at least two (2) times per Contract Year Display approved Sprint banner and link on credit union website Smaller Sprint Incentive Check? Incentives are generated from overall member usage. Currently, there are more credit unions participating (more incentive checks to distribute), participating credit unions are not reaching members as often and fewer members are signing up on a monthly basis. These facts coupled with the effects of verification, make it essential to ensure that credit unions are fulfilling all the minimum marketing requirements. CUSG Audits Web Ad & Link Newsletters Articles Proof of newsletter articles can be viewed in multiple ways: Web posting (link), , fax or mail. The reason we send monthly reports to the leagues/LSCs is to give you the opportunity to communicate the information with your credit unions and update our team as needed.
Current Verification Numbers From January program numbers, overall verification remains at 57% (as of October 2013). 33% of new customers validated in October 2013, while those revalidating (already on the program) are validating at 11% in October Of all customers that attempt to validate under the program, 97% are successful as of October Invest in America App Usage Launched December 7, 2012 Downloads : 56,743 Apple: 29,426 Android: 46,145 App Verification Submissions: 75,571 29
30 For members paying their Sprint monthly bill through Sprints AutoPay option from their credit union checking account or credit union debit/credit card, verification is as easy as it gets. 1.Members sign up for Sprints AutoPay online using their credit union account (checking, credit card or debit card). 2.Sprint pulls the R&T and credit/debit card BIN numbers monthly and verifies credit union membership for all accounts being paid through Sprints AutoPay from a credit union account via the above methods. 3.These members are validated monthly each time the report is pulled and members verified through this process have no need to go through any other verification process. CU Solutions Group and Sprint are investigating the possibilities of expanding the automatic payment verification option when automatic payment is set up through the credit union online banking or for members who make payments using a credit union credit or debit card.
Verification is easy and only takes a few minutes to complete. There are three additional ways to verify credit union membership: 1. Visit from a mobile devicewww.Sprint.com/verify Members need to black out all confidential information on their documentation prior to faxing. 2. Free Invest in America app for Android and/or iPhone iPhone users can find it at the Apple App Store. Android users can find the app in the Android Market. Members just need to search for Invest in America. Members will be prompted to black out all confidential information within the app right on their phone. This app also lists all other Invest in America discounts. 3. Fill out and fax the Sprint verification form and supporting documents to Sprint Corporate Accounts: or toll free: Members need to black out all confidential information on their documentation prior to faxing. 31
