Locally-based financial cooperative Arizona Financial Credit Unionannounced today its partnership renewal as the official credit union of the defending USL Champions, Phoenix Rising Football Club.
The agreement makes Arizona Financial the official credit union of Phoenix Rising for the eighth consecutive season. Arizona Financial will continue to offer co-branded products to Rising fans, including the Phoenix Rising FC Visa® debit card, which includes a $200 incentive to those that open a new account. Current Arizona Financial members can access discounted tickets and giveaways.
“After Rising’s championship run last year, we couldn’t be more excited to keep this partnership going with Phoenix Rising and we look forward to continuing to make a positive impact together, particularly by connecting with young fans,” said Jason Paprocki, EVP & Chief Opportunity. “At Arizona Financial, we’re all about equipping the next generation with the knowledge to win the financial game and this collaboration allows us to empower fans with the financial tools to do so.”
Arizona Financial will be the official presenting partner of Rising’s match vs. Monterey Bay FC on Friday, October 4.
Phoenix Rising players will be out in the community, working alongside Arizona Financial on at least four separate occasions. This year’s projects will focus on promoting financial literacy by bringing Phoenix Rising players to local branches to interact with fans and children learning more about opening accounts and balancing budgets. Rising and Arizona Financial will continue to look for additional opportunities to support local nonprofits this season.
“Arizona Financial Credit Union was one of the first local institutions to believe and invest in professional soccer in Phoenix,” said Rising’s VP of Business Operations, Joey Castor. “The support we received from the beginning and through the last few years has made celebrating a championship with them last season even more special. Through this partnership we continue to work together to further highlight Arizona Financial’s work in our communities.”
