Long-term Extension Strengthens Current Relationship
ATLANTA, Nov. 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Building on a nearly decade-long relationship, Macy's, Inc. and Citi Retail Services are today announcing the early renewal and long-term extension of their credit card services agreement. This new agreement, to run through March 2025, with substantially similar financial terms, will further solidify the strong relationship between one of the nation's premier omnichannel retailers and the preferred provider of retail credit products and analytical solutions.
"Both organizations see this early renewal as a way of further strengthening and enhancing this already great partnership which began in 2005," said Citi Retail Services' CEO Bill Johnson.
As part of this agreement, Macy's will leverage Citi's credit card systems. "This move will provide enhanced efficiency and effectiveness while facilitating advanced analytics to support sales growth for the iconic Macy's and Bloomingdale's brands for years to come," Johnson added.
"We are pleased to continue this very important partnership with Citi," said Karen Hoguet, chief financial officer of Macy's Inc. "Our proprietary and co-branded card programs provide many valuable benefits to cardholders and strengthen the loyalty and engagement of the customers who shop Macy's and Bloomingdale's stores, websites and mobile apps."
The original agreement had been set to expire in 2016. The new agreement is effective immediately.
