Banks to Start Charge-Card Plan An all-purpose charge-card plan, operating in nine key Michigan market areas, was announced by officials of four greater Detroit area banks; Michigan Bank. Li- vonia National Bank, Troy Na- tional Bank and Oakland National Bank. Called Michigan Bankard, the plan will be inaugurated early next year under the initial auspices of nine participating banks, accord- ing to a joint statement. The charge plan will be available to a wide variety of merchants and to every "credit-worthy Michigan resident" whether a • participating bank customer or not. It is expected that more than 4,000 businesses and some 200,000 Beffer Every Way "DEXTER CHEVROLET IS THE BEST PLACE TO GET YOUR CAR." • Better Service • Better Deals SEE THE ALL NEW 1966 CHEVROLET REPEAT CUSTOMERS SAY: MORE Slatkin's DEXTER CHEVROLET 20811 W. 8 Mile Road KE 4-1400 card-users will be enrolled in the Michigan Bankard plan when it begins operations. according to Frank Shumway of Michigan Na- tional Bank, general manager of the plan. By receiving immediate cash credit for every Michigan Bank- ard sale, the merchant has ac- cess to working capital that would otherwise be tied up in accounts receivable. Record keep- ing, credit checking, charge card issuance, billing and collecting are all handled by the Michigan Bankard Center, relieving the merchant of these burdens and protecting him against credit risks. Within specified limits. customer purchases with the Bankard can be handled without authorization and charges above the limit are quickly cleared by direct-line phone contact with the Bankard center. No membership fee or dues will be charged art,d with the card, the user has an established line of credit. By using his Bankard for pur- chases, the user avoids the annoy- ing surge of month-end bills. He receives a single statement cover- ing all his purchases and makes only one payment. If the user pays his account in full within 25 days of receiving his statement, there is no service charge. He may, however, elect to pay the balance on an extended payment plan, for which there is a small service fee, Shumway said. * * * Michigan Bank Exec Honored for Service You are Invited To Join Ed Shikany's EDMOND OLDS Action Gallery!
