InfiCorp will issue and administer the PETA card through its InfiBank, N.A., affiliate. Brookwood Capital, a leading credit card brokerage and consulting group, facilitated the partnership.
Every time a cardholder makes a purchase using their PETA card, a portion of that sale goes to fund educational programs designed to teach children and adults to respect and show compassion for all living beings in line with PETA's broad based philosophy that advocates viewing animals as our fellows not as resources.
"InfiCorp is pleased to partner with PETA to offer a credit card program that supports PETA's educational efforts establishing and protecting the rights of all animals," said Andrew Mathieson, Managing Director of InfiCorp. "The PETA card program demonstrates InfiCorp's flexibility and commitment to structuring card programs to meet the specific needs of our partners. The card is a win-win for all parties -- cardholders enjoy low rates with high limits, while PETA can further support their worthwhile programs."
"Paying with this card will let people who want to give animals a fair shake in life, put their money where their hearts are," said Ingrid E. Newkirk, president of PETA.

About PETA
Founded in 1980 and now up to 800,000 members and supporters internationally, PETA is dedicated to establishing and protecting the rights of all animals. It operates under the simple principle that animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, or use for entertainment. It operates www.peta.org and approximately 100 other websites to help people get involved in stopping cruelty to animals.
PETA focuses on the four areas in which the largest numbers of animals suffer the most intensely for the longest periods of time: on factory farms and in slaughterhouses, in laboratories, in the clothing trade, and in the entertainment industry. PETA also works on a variety of other issues, including the cruel killing of beavers, birds and other "pests," and the abuse of chained backyard dogs. PETA works through public education, cruelty investigations, research, animal rescue, legislation, special events, celebrity involvement, and protest campaigns.
