How to Apply for the Bangor Savings Bank College Rewards Visa Card

The Bangor Savings Bank College Rewards Visa Card is a standard credit card with little in the way of actual benefits to college students outside what Elan Financial Services (the card-issuing institution) calls an ” interactive credit education website”. However, don’t be fooled, this is a free website that is accessible whether your apply for this credit card or not. All that being said, this Visa can benefit an post-secondary student just as much as any other card could as most of us need a credit card to function in our day to day lives. This particular option features a point-per-dollar rewards program and no annual fee so it’s not as if it has nothing to offer. If you’re a college student, you bank at Bangor Savings Bank, and you’re interested in applying for this card, review our tutorial below to get the full scoop on how it’s done.
