Discover Financial Services (NYSE:DFS) announced today an
expanded effort to support the American Red Cross’s disaster relief
efforts in the wake of Hurricane Irma.

waiving transaction fees on all credit card donations to the

Caribbean islands,” said David Nelms, Chairman and CEO of Discover.
“Our cardmembers and employees have been supporting relief efforts
for those affected by Hurricane Harvey and I'm pleased that
Discover is now expanding our support to also support those
affected by Hurricane Irma.”
