Autism Speaks also receives $1 for each annual
renewal of the card. For each new checking account and/or debit card opened, Autism Speaks will receive $10 and an additional $5 on each annual anniversary of the account opening as long as the account maintains a minimum $50 balance. Autism Speaks will also receive .10 cents for every $100 in purchases made with the Autism Speaks branded debit card. Card users can show their passion for autism advocacy every time they make a transaction using the Autism Speaks products.
