Wanganui RSA is dealing its membership a smart card, offering significant discounts when they shop at some local businesses.
The club card has been developed by RSA's national office and was launched in June this year, attracting a number of major companies who are offering discounts of up to 35 per cent in some cases.
Kyle Dalton, secretary-manager of the Wanganui RSA, said the local branch was prepared to take its time before offering the card to its membership.
"We didn't jump on the bandwagon immediately because I know from experience that when they issue some of these things there can be teething problems," Mr Dalton said.
But he said the benefits to members were significant.
