Vendor Cards
Very soon all Nationals will be eligible to receive debt relief vendor cards. Anna has recently shared that this will happen in early 2022.
In order to access The American States and Nations Bank, it's first necessary to open a non-interest bearing account with any State chartered bank or credit union, not Federally insured if possible. Santa Cruz County Bank and the Santa Cruz Community Credit Union are both state chartered.
