SAN FRANCISCO–The University of San Francisco (USF) Athletics Department and Provident Credit Union said they have entered into a multi-year sponsorship deal.
“The strategic partnership will enhance USF's athletic program while providing valuable services to the entire university community,” the two organizations said in a statement.
As part of the agreement, Provident Central said it will offer:
- Exclusive product lines to USF faculty, staff, students, and alumni. This includes a $150 bonus to new checking account holders in its Super Reward Checking product, which is free and has no minimum balance, but does require $25 to open. The product pays 2.01% APY.
- Internship opportunities for USF students
- Financial literacy programs
- Multiple ATMs located on campus
"Provident is thrilled to partner with the USF community, and to help their students, faculty and alumni achieve their financial and educational goals," said Jim Ernest, president and CEO of Provident Credit Union. "Provident Credit Union has deep roots within the educational community and this new partnership is a perfect fit."
"We are delighted to announce a new partnership with Provident Credit Union," said USF Director of Athletics Scott Sidwell in a statement. "This is a relationship that will provide valuable offerings, such as discounted mortgage and auto loans for faculty and staff, on-site financial education to faculty, staff, and students, along with a host of other benefits to the USF community."
The $2.3-billion Provident Credit Union was founded in 1950 to serve Bay Area teachers.
