"First Community was among the first credit unions to offer debit cards back in the early '90s," said president Glenn Barks of First Community. "Implementing a flat-panel, unembossed debit card that can be issued and used immediately was an easy choice for us as we continue to be a progressive leader in the industry. After reviewing multiple applications, we chose DCS' card issuing technology because of its level of sophistication and ease-of-use."
