Richmond County Schools Join High School Affinity Debit Card Program

posted on

North Augusta, SC - SRP Federal Credit Union is thrilled to announce the addition of Richmond County public schools to our High School Affinity Debit Card program.

The Affinity School Debit Card Program began in 2018 to assist participating area high schools with funding. Each participating high school designs its own card, and every time the card is used, the school receives a donation. The schools are free to use the funds any way they wish, and they receive payments quarterly. These payments have been useful in the counties we serve, where funding has been used for various needs like computers, team uniforms, teacher certifications, incentives for students to improve their grades, and more. 

Richmond County joins Aiken, Barnwell, Burke, and Columbia County’s public schools as well as a number of private and charter schools who are part of the program.

“It is always exciting to have schools join the High School Affinity Debit Card program. It is a wonderful way for our members to raise funds for their high school of choice simply by using their High School Affinity Debit card,” states Eric Jenkins, CEO of SRP FCU. “Since the inception of the program in 2018, SRP has given almost $2,000,000 to schools in our community. We look forward to working with the Richmond County school system to quickly grow the program and start providing financial support to the high schools.”
