Alliance Data Systems’ Ohio-based card services business has signed a new long-term agreement to provide private label credit card services for Century 21 Department Store based in New York City.

Century 21 Department Store is a family-owned fashion business, which manages 10 stores in the New York metro area and Pennsylvania.

Alliance Data said this will be the first private label credit card for Century 21.

In order to acquire new cardholders, Century 21 will leverage a collection of Alliance Data capabilities, including in-store kiosks, tablet technology and integrated web-based offerings.

Additionally, Alliance Data will integrate its proprietary data assets and lifecycle marketing approach with a brand-immersive mobile and digital experience.

This combined strategy will offer personalised messages in moments, delivering value to Century 21 card members and generating incremental sales for the brand.
