Criticism
Many are critical of the credit card offered by Working Assets, as the bank it is issued through is MBNA, the top contributor to George W. Bush's 2000 Presidential Campaign.[1] When asked about this, Working Assets' employees have made differing claims. In one letter, it was stated that Working Assets chose MBNA regardless of their political views and entirely for their experience and quality customer service.[2] In another letter, president Michael Kieschnick stated that Working Assets ended up under MBNA when the company purchased Fleet Bank, who previously issued the card. Kieschnick said it was not Working Assets' choice to select MBNA and cannot change banks without violating their current contract.[3]
