We are pleased to announce that NCS has recently been acquired by Bankrate, Inc.. Bankrate.com is a trusted source of objective editorial content, rate comparisons and tools for many consumers as they make important financial decisions. With an average of almost 6 million monthly unique visitors, Bankrate.com is one of the top personal finance destinations on the Web. Bankrate provides financial applications and information to a network of more than 75 online partners, including America Online, The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times. Bankrate's information is also distributed through more than 400 national and state publications.

The acquisition of NCS adds breadth to Bankrate’s growing credit card channel. We believe that NCS’s loyal affiliate network and strong platform, combined with Bankrate’s organic traffic, will make a significant positive impact on our issuers and affiliates, as well as Bankrate’s consumer and advertiser base.
