SAN ANTONIO, Texas—The $1-billion Firstmark Credit Union has been named the official sponsor of the San Antonio United Soccer Club.
“On behalf of Firstmark Credit Union, we are delighted to be the new official sponsor of the SA United Soccer Club,” Nathanael Tarwasokono, president and Chief Executive Officer of Firstmark Credit Union, stated in a report in BroadwayWorld.com. “SA United’s philosophy of helping young soccer players win in life aligns with our credit union’s philosophy of helping people achieve their financial goals in life.”
