DALLAS, Dec. 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --
As a part of our Chip In For Charity initiative, Populus
Financial Group launched a new line of charity products which
included three additional debit card options for accountholders of
the ACE Flare™ Account by MetaBank®. The new cards will have
contactless capabilities as well as EMV chips that offer added
security.
In 2017, Populus Financial Group launched their Pink ACE Flare™
Account by MetaBank® Visa® Debit Card and it has been one of the
most popular choices because ACE consumers love giving to good
causes.
As part of the campaign, each time a Pink ACE Flare™ Account by
MetaBank® Visa Debit Card or Pink ACE Elite™ Visa Prepaid Debit
Card is used, ACE and Netspend donate to NBCF. Since 2007, we have
helped raise awareness and donated over $6
million to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
We are now expanding our support to Homes For Our Troops, Save
the Children, and the Humane Society of the United States.
"We are excited to expand our charity debit card portfolio and
to be able to give our customers options on charities they would
like to support," said Eric
Norrington, Senior Vice President of Public Affairs for
Populus Financial Group. "By adding these charities, we are able to
help children, veterans, and animals in the communities where we
live and work."
These charities are a part of Populus's ACE Cash Express
charitable-giving program, the ACE Community Fund, which has
donated more than $14 million to
organizations across the nation since its inception in 2004.
The ACE Flare™ Account is established by MetaBank®, National
Association, Member FDIC. Netspend is a service provider to
MetaBank, N.A. Certain products and services may be licensed under

About Homes For Our Troops
Homes For Our Troops (HFOT) is a publicly funded 501(c) (3)
nonprofit organization that builds and donates specially adapted
custom homes nationwide for severely injured post-9/11 Veterans, to
enable them to rebuild their lives. Most of these Veterans have
sustained injuries including multiple limb amputations, partial or
full paralysis, and/or severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). These
homes restore some of the freedom and independence our Veterans
sacrificed while defending our country, and enable them to focus on
their family, recovery, and rebuilding their lives. Since its
inception in 2004, nearly 90 cents
out of every dollar spent has gone directly to program services for
Veterans. HFOT builds these homes where the Veteran chooses to live
and continues its relationship with the Veterans after home
delivery to assist them with rebuilding their lives. For more
