Private Label Credit Card Kick-Off for 2019

Supreme Court Justice John Roberts calls out the reduced bankruptcy workflow in his Year-End Report on the Federal Judiciary.  For bankruptcy, record low numbers mean results will probably increase next year rather than increase.  Marketwatch reports on a win by TD Bank:

• The 47-year-old Oklahoma City-based company ranks among Furniture Today’s Top 100 offering brand-name furniture, bedding, rugs and home accent pieces.
• Bob Mills’ partnership with TD Bank will make customizable and flexible financing available to consumers across the store’s footprint and through their website, as well as elevate the retailer’s seamless customer experience through enhanced technology capabilities.
• TD Bank’s U.S. Partnerships business (tdpartnershipprograms.com) launches and administers new credit card portfolios for merchants across all sales channels, and acquires retailers’ existing credit card portfolios.
