"I have been amazed at the level of interest credit unions have shown in smart card technology," reports Doug Benzine, new Executive VP of CUNA Network Services. "We are looking into wavs to include more credit unions in our second phase of testing."

The second phase is set to begin early in fourth quarter 2001 and last through first quarter 2002.
